Woman charged with theft
Cindy Lynn Truby, 23, of Troy, faces a preliminary hearing at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 5 before Magisterial District Judge Jonathan Wilcox of Troy on a charge of theft by unlawful taking or disposition for an incident that occurred at 10:50 a.m. April 17 at Hillcrest Apartments in Troy, according to court papers.
The papers note that Truby took control of the purse of Lauren C. Moody, no age or address given, a home health aide, with the intent of removing the contents contained therein.
In an affidavit, Troy Police Chief Anthony Morelli said that Moody saw Truby bent over her purse, with her hand inside, and immediately confronted her. Chief Morelli said "there was nothing taken as she was caught her hand literally in the purse."
Chief Morelli interviewed Truby, who said she was reading her cousin's papers from the doctor, and when she went to get up, she moved the chair she was sitting in, which resulted in the purse falling to the floor. She said she was picking the purse up off the floor, when she was told by Moody to get out of the purse and asked to leave, which she did, according to the affidavit.
