Woman charged with stealing from Bay Area animal rescue now accused in Target thefts
"Chenier posted bail after her Nov. 11 arrest but police rearrested her on Nov. 18 outside the Sonoma County courthouse where she had appeared in the forgery case. Investigators searched her home and found suspected drugs and a sweatshirt believed to be stolen in July, police said. Court records show Chenier had opted out of having a preliminary hearing in the forgery case just before her arrest."
"Chenier is suspected of taking jewelry, clothing and household goods from Targets in Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park without scanning them at self-checkout registers, Santa Rosa police Sgt. Patricia Seffens said. Investigators first discovered the thefts on Nov. 11 when Rohnert Park police arrested Chenier on suspicion of stealing $201 worth of merchandise that day. Further investigation showed another $408 in merchandise was taken Nov. 1 and Nov. 6, Santa Rosa police said."
Jennifer Chenier, 37, faces six misdemeanor petty theft charges tied to incidents at Target stores between July and November while on pretrial release for a felony forgery case. Law enforcement arrested her twice in November after suspected self-checkout thefts of jewelry, clothing and household goods in Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park. Investigators linked thefts totaling several hundred dollars across multiple dates and found suspected drugs and a sweatshirt believed stolen during a home search. Chenier had opted out of a preliminary hearing in the forgery case shortly before a courthouse rearrest. The forgery charges involve missing donor checks from Dogwood Animal Rescue.
