A woman who bailed out of the Fresno County Jail on elder abuse and embezzlement charges is back in custody after more victims were identified, the Sheriff's Office says.
Sharon Elaine Harrelson, 55, was originally arrested in March on 14 elder abuse and three embezzlement counts.
Sheriff's spokesman Chris Curtice said the additional victims were discovered after search warrants were served at Harrelson's home, office and financial institutions.
New charges include four new counts of elder abuse, two of embezzlement and three of grand theft.
Bail is now $155,000.
