A Greenville woman, Jacqueline Carrie Barr, 22, has been charged again after failing to appear for her sentencing hearing in March. Barr had previously pleaded guilty to 27 counts of felony obtaining property by false pretense, accused of withdrawing over $10,000 from various personal bank accounts using forged checks.
Her initial arrest in 2022 led to charges against two accomplices, Myshyla Jalae Murray and Nyja Lashay Hemby. While Murray awaits prosecution, Hemby was convicted of identity theft and fraud in February.
After being granted time to address “family needs,” Barr did not return to court for sentencing. She subsequently removed an electronic ankle monitor and fled from deputies. U.S. Marshals later located her in Greenville, leading to additional charges: interfering with the monitoring device, 45 counts of violating pre-trial release conditions, four counts of felony probation violation, and 15 counts of failure to appear.
Barr has been booked into the Pitt County Detention Center without bond and has prior convictions related to fraud and larceny.
