A cleaning woman already facing trial in one case is accused of two additional cases of stealing jewelry from clients’ homes.

Butler County detectives on Monday charged Jacki S. Barto, 50, of Clearfield Township with a pair of thefts in 2014 from homes in Franklin Township.

Those charges followed Barto’s arrest earlier this summer in connection with last year’s theft of gold and silver jewelry and other items at a home in Penn Township.

The defendant worked for a cleaning service catering to elderly residents when she allegedly committed the crimes, authorities said.

Penn Township police initially charged her in August with stealing $4,652 worth of goods from a North Trail homeowner between Sept. 20 and Dec. 30, 2014.

The stolen items included two gold wedding rings, silver tie tacks and cuff links, a gold cross and chain and numerous silver golf accessories including ball markers and divot tools, according to court documents.

Police said they suspect Barto eventually sold the items at a Cranberry Township gold store.

She is charged in that case, which is pending in Butler County Court, with felony counts of theft and receiving stolen property.

Penn Township Patrolman Jack Ripper said that after he arrested Barto, she admitted that she had taken property from other homes outside the township.

County detectives on Oct. 27 interviewed the defendant, who acknowledged stealing a gold wedding band from the jewelry box of a friend whose house on West Old Route 422 in Franklin Township she was responsible for cleaning in 2014.

When investigators contacted the homeowner, he was surprised.

“(The victim) advised that he was not aware of any jewelry missing,” a police affidavit said, “but that his wife had died several years ago and he never looks in her jewelry box.”

He discovered two rings were gone, authorities said. He identified the property from photos of items that Barto is accused of selling at the same gold store in Cranberry Township.

Detectives on Nov. 3 spoke to another victim, who also lives on West Old Route 422 in Franklin Township.

Investigators suspect Barto last year was caring for that woman’s home when she allegedly stole two rings, a pair of earrings, two gold chains and a tennis bracelet.

Barto is charged in the latest cases with two misdemeanor counts each of theft and receiving stolen property.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 23 at District Judge Tim Shaffer’s office in Slippery Rock.
