Jennifer Sheridan was released from prison in April 2022 and was on probation when her probation officer reported that she missed several restitution payments, opened a line credit in her name that was not allowed and was arrested in in May 2024 for OVI in Weathersfield Township. Further, the probation hearing uncovered the use of narcotics, according to court documents.
