Franklinton Woman Arrested for Failure to Appear on Fraud-Related Charge
On December 27, 2024, Jade Garielle Hardy-Turner, a 34-year-old resident of Franklinton, North Carolina, was arrested by the Wake County Sheriff’s Office. She was charged with failure to appear in court for an original offense of obtaining property by false pretense, a felony under North Carolina Statute 15A-543(B). The arrest occurred at 3301 Hammond Road in Raleigh.
Failure to appear is a serious offense in North Carolina that can result in additional penalties, including fines, a potential revocation of bond, and even incarceration. The underlying charge of obtaining property by false pretense involves deceiving another person to acquire money, goods, or services. As a felony, it carries penalties that may include imprisonment for up to 24 months, restitution to victims, and significant fines, depending on the value of the property obtained.
Hardy-Turner is expected to address both the failure to appear charge and the underlying fraud charge in court. Authorities in Wake County emphasize the importance of attending all scheduled court appearances and complying with legal obligations to avoid escalating consequences. This case highlights the potential ramifications of both fraud-related offenses and noncompliance with court processes.
