En enero 3, 2024 Campbell was indicted by a Grand Jury sitting in Ocean County on the charges of Theft, Facilitación financiera, and Forgery; she was arraigned on these charges on February 5, 2024. In April 2024, Campbell claimed that her minor child was undergoing treatment for leukemia in Philadelphia. During the summer of 2024, Campbell advised the Court that the treatments in Philadelphia were not successful, and that it was necessary for her child to be transferred to the Texas Children’s Hospital for imminent and urgent care. Campbell submitted documentation to the Court – purportedly from the doctors treating her child. Based upon these representations and the documentation submitted, the Court repeatedly granted adjournments of Campbell’s pending case so that she might pursue the care necessary for her child’s well-being.
In August 2024, Campbell once again asked for an adjournment of her case, claiming that her child was still receiving care in Texas. Campbell submitted a document on letterhead – purportedly from the Leukemia Program at the Texas Children’s Hospital – detailing her child’s condition and treatment regimen. Personnel at the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office took note of the fact that the address for the hospital was incorrect, and there was no additional contact information for the doctor who allegedly authored the letter. Further investigation by Detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Economic Crimes Squad revealed that the letter was, En realidad, a forgery, and that the hospital never even met Campbell – nor did it provide any care for Campbell’s child. Consequently, en octubre 29, 2024, Campbell was charged with the offenses referenced above. En esa misma fecha, Campbell was taken into custody at her residence in Mays Landing without incident. Fue transportada a la cárcel del condado de Ocean., donde se encuentra actualmente en espera de una audiencia de detención.
