(La Porte, IN) - A woman who was allegedly caught on camera stealing a cell phone in the La Porte County Jail received a house call from local authorities.
On June 23, a woman was seen lifting an iPhone while in the jail’s public video visitation room. Police say the stolen iPhone was returned to the Sheriff’s office the following day. In the meantime, tips had come in as to the woman’s identity, and the jig was up.
On Monday officers with the Fugitive Apprehension Street Team arrived to the 800 block of Ridge Street to arrest 59-year-old Kristi Hahn.
She was taken back to jail, bypassing the visitation room, and held on a $605 cash bond. Hahn’s Class A-Misdemeanor Theft charge is now pending in La Porte’s Superior Court III.
