Indiana Woman with Many Troubles - Updated

(Yorktown, Indiana) In June 2009, Lana Kay Elsworth pleaded guilty in Delaware Circuit Court to possession of a controlled substance, sexual misconduct with a minor and driving while intoxicated.

Sentencing for those crimes is scheduled for August 3.

However, while waiting for her sentencing, 25-year-old Lana Elsworth has successfully put herself in more trouble. Elsworth has been arrested for alleged credit card fraud.

Apparently, Elsworth was a client at a battered women's shelter and she used one of its credit cards to chalk up hundreds of dollars of purchases at a local drug store. Reportedly, she admitted the offense.

As of today, Elsworth enjoys the confines of the Delaware County Jail with bond set at $5,000.

Indiana Woman Jailed for Sex with Boy
[Previous 8/7/07 post]
(Yorktown, Indiana) A 23-year-old local woman, Lana K. Elsworth, was arrested yesterday for allegedly engaging in sex with a 15-year-old boy. Ellsworth has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor, child neglect, maintaining a common nuisance, dealing in a controlled substance and several counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The boy told Yorktown police that he and other juveniles would gather at Ellsworth's house to consume alcohol and drugs. On July 4th, the boy says he had sex with Ellsworth the first time. It's also alleged that Ellsworth told the boy and his stepmother that she might be pregnant with the 15-year-old's child.

Formal charges against Ellsworth may include a felony drug offense, carrying a 30-year term, since the drug allegations occurred at a location within 1,000 feet of a government housing project.

Ellsworth was booked into custody at the Delaware County Jail.

In an unrelated case, Ellsworth is scheduled to stand trial in October on a drunk driving offense.
