Several defendants accused of crimes in Baldwin County were recently indicted by a grand jury.

One of the cases involves a woman accused of financial transaction card fraud, according to records filed in the Office of Baldwin County Superior Court Clerk Wanda T. Paul.

Regina Ann Thompson was indicted on three counts of the criminal charge, court records show.

All three incidents happened in 2020 and involved different victims.

Grand jurors contend Thompson unlawfully committed the crimes with the intent of defrauding Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Milledgeville.

Thompson was later arrested as a suspect in connection with the case by Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Christian Nesci, who is assigned to the GBI Region 6 Office in Milledgeville.

In an unrelated case, two people were jointly indicted on fraud charges.

The defendants were identified as Levi Casper Jones and Deja Lashawnne Leonard.
