STEPHANIE JEAN BARBER FACES GRAND JURY INDICTMENT FOR MULTI-YEAR THEFT OF OVER $60,000 FROM JD LAND AND TITLE

Stephanie Jean Barber is scheduled for an upcoming court appearance following a grand jury indictment on felony theft charges in Cumberland County.
According to court documents, Barber is facing a single count of theft of property valued between $60,000 and $250,000. The indictment alleges that the unlawful activity took place over a nearly decade-long span, between August 18, 2015, and May 15, 2025. Investigators claim Barber knowingly exercised control over money exceeding $60,000 belonging to JD Land and Title, Inc., without the ownerโ€™s effective consent.
The grand jury returned the true bill on June 16, 2026, following testimony from Cumberland County Sheriffโ€™s Office (CCSO) affiant Mitchell Ward, alongside witness statements from CCSOโ€™s Michael Winebarger and a witness from JD Land and Title.
Barber is currently out on a $150,000 surety bond secured through Huckabee Bonding. Her next court appearance is slated for a report-with-attorney hearing in the Cumberland County General Sessions and Criminal Court.
