A Novinger woman won't be cleaning houses anytime soon after her arrest on felony charges.
According to court documents obtained by KTVO, 57-year-old Janet Sullivan of Novinger is charged with felony counts of receiving stolen property and possession of a controlled substance, identified as methamphetamine.
Reports say Shag Grossnickle of Kirksville had just hired Sullivan for house cleaning, when his wife noticed her wedding ring, valued at six thousand dollars missing after Sullivan had cleaned their home.
Kirksville police then placed 500-dollars in cash in an envelope at the Grossnickle residence when Sullivan was due to clean again. After she left, officers reported more than one hundred dollars of the money was missing. The marked bills were found in Sullivan’s possession after the incident.
Sullivan is being held in the Adair County Jail in lieu of 25-thousand dollars cash-only bond.
