DELAWARE – A Delaware County Grand Jury has returned a combined eighteen-count indictment against 28-year-old Jordan Smith, Westerville, and 26-year-old Anthony Schoenberger, Centerburg.
Law enforcement was alerted to possible misconduct Dec. 11, 2014 after the victim’s daughter spoke with a bank security officer.
“The elderly victim in this case did not give personal checks to the defendants, nor did he give his permission for the checks to be used,” said Delaware County Prosecutor, Carol O’Brien. “There are images of both Smith and Schoenberger in the bank, depositing checks that belonged to the victim.”
Jordan, of Westerville, and Schoenberger, of Centerburg, are both charged with nine counts of forgery – all fifth-degree felonies and receiving stolen property – a fifth-degree felony. Additionally, Jordan is charged with theft – a fourth-degree felony, theft – a fifth-degree felony, and two counts of forgery – both fifth-degree felonies. Schoenberger is also charged separately with an additional four counts of forgery – all fifth-degree felonies.
