Hoover Pet-Sitter Arrested And Charged With Stealing From Client
A Hoover woman is under arrest after police say she stole jewelry while pet sitting for a Hoover family.
HOOVER, AL - The Hoover Police Department has arrested a woman and charged her with stealing jewelry from a client for whom she was pet-sitting. Jordan Elizabeth Rodgers, 29, turned herself in Monday and was released on bond.
Hoover police responded May 8 to a home in the 3800 block of James Hill Circle after the resident discovered several pieces of jewelry missing, according to a report from the Hoover PD. Because there was no evidence of forced entry, the victim suspected the pet-sitter was responsible.
Hoover PD detectives launched an investigation and found that Rodgers had sold more than $12,000 worth of jewelry to a Birmingham jewelry store that matched the description of what was stolen.
