A 19-year-old local woman accused of sneaking into Central Middle School and stealing three cell phones and a backpack from a locker room made her first court appearance in Bartholomew Superior Court 1.
Alexis R. Daniels, 19, of 1901 W. Northgate Drive, has been formally charged with three counts of theft, all Level 6 felonies, court documents state. Those charges were filed in Bartholomew Superior Court after the Aug. 13 thefts from the Central girl’s locker room.
On Monday, the defendant arrived several minutes late for her initial court hearing. After advising Daniels of the charges against her, as well as reading her rights, Judge James Worton set three court dates:
- Change of plea hearing: 10:30 a.m. Jan. 27
- Pre-trial conference: 11 a.m. Feb. 10
- Jury trial: 8:30 a.m. Feb. 25
Daniels could face up to seven-and-a-half years in prison, as well as fines of up to $30,000 if convicted of all three felonies.
