Woman accused of auto theft

A woman facing multiple cases in Monroe County, now accused of auto theft in Greene County, is due in Greene Superior Court today. She was just sentenced in yet another case in Clinton County yesterday.

Jordan Marie Loree

When Jordan Marie Loree, 25, Bloomington, was released from Clinton County last Wednesday, January 8, she was transported into the Greene County Jail to face a charge of theft where value of property is between $750 and $50,000, a Level 6 felony.

Her bond in Greene County was set at $4,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed so she posted $400 and was released later the same day.

Yesterday, Monday, January 13, she was back in court in Clinton County for a sentencing hearing. There, she was convicted of possession of methamphetamine, a Level 6 felony, sentenced to two years with one year suspended. She’s to serve one year with community corrections then serve one year on probation.

Court records indicate Loree has three other cases still pending against her in Monroe County including one involving felony fraud, one involving felony possession of methamphetamine and misdemeanor identity deception and one involving felony neglect of a dependent that resulted in bodily injury.

In the Greene County case, Wade Edward Webb, now 33, also of Bloomington, and Loree are accused of stealing a work van from a Greene County business. The van contained over $5,000 worth of tools that were allegedly pawned in Indy.

Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy Camron Frye, the investigating officer, said the owner of the business, Walls Construction on East State Road 54, east of Bloomfield, reported a white 2009 E-250 Econoline van was taken around 4 a.m. on Monday, September 23. The owner was able to provide video from a surveillance system that showed a male and a female on the property at that time. An employee of the business was able to identify Webb and Loree as the two people in the video. The van was entered into the statewide IDACS system as stolen.

On September 25, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department located the van in Indianapolis. No suspects were found with the vehicle, no tools were found inside and someone at an Indy wrecker service said the vehicle appeared to have been ransacked.

The owner had provided a detailed list of the tools that were in the vehicle and they were also entered into the IDACS system.

On October 2, then-GCSD Det. James O’Malley (now Worthington Town Marshal) checked the van for evidence and he later informed Deputy Frye he had discovered some of the tools were pawned at various pawn shops in the Indianapolis area. Deputy Frye was able to obtain print outs of the pawn agreements with Webb’s signature and photos of Webb and his identification card.

The findings from the investigation were submitted to the prosecutor’s office, a case was filed against Webb on October 21, and a warrant for Webb’s arrest was issued on October 22.

Records indicated Webb was incarcerated in the Monroe County Jail at that time and he’s still showing up as an inmate there as of early today, January 14. He has not yet been transported to face the Greene County charges.

The case against Loree was filed and the warrant for her arrest was issued on November 18.
