Avon, NY – A 24-year-old Avon woman was arrested this week after authorities said she allegedly stole a motor vehicle, leading to multiple felony charges following a local investigation.
According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded Friday to a residence on Hillside Drive in the Town of Avon for a reported larceny of a motor vehicle. Investigators said the case was quickly assigned for follow-up, and through the investigation, the suspect was identified as Makayla Baker, 24, of Avon.
Authorities allege Baker was taken into custody Tuesday by Deputy Cheyenne Masiello and charged with felony grand larceny in the third degree and felony grand larceny in the fourth degree. Officials said the charges stem from the alleged theft and subsequent investigation into the reported vehicle larceny.
Baker was transported to the Livingston County Jail for processing and pre-arraignment detention. She was later arraigned at the Livingston County Centralized Arraignment Part before a Town of Mount Morris justice. Officials said she was released on her own recognizance, as the charges allegedly do not qualify for bail under New York state bail reform laws.
The Livingston County Public Defender’s Office represented Baker during arraignment, while the Livingston County District Attorney’s Office appeared on behalf of the prosecution.
The Sheriff’s Office said members of its Patrol Division, Forensic Identification Unit, and Criminal Investigations Division assisted in the investigation. The case remains active as it proceeds through the court system.
