BALDWIN, NY — A Pennsylvania woman faces multiple felony charges following a burglary investigation in Chemung County.
Anita D. Evans, 31, of Sweet Valley, Pennsylvania, was arrested on charges of second-degree burglary, a Class C felony, third-degree burglary, a Class D felony, and third-degree grand larceny, a Class D felony.
The Chemung County Sheriff’s Office Road Patrol Division responded to an address on Mathews Road in the Town of Baldwin on April 28, 2026, for a report of a burglary of a residence and garage on the property.
The Criminal Investigations Division took over the investigation.
Investigators determined that on multiple occasions, Evans entered and stole belongings from a garage on the property, as well as the dwelling, while the homeowner was not home.
A warrant of arrest was obtained for Evans on May 1.
Investigators worked with multiple police agencies from Pennsylvania and North Carolina and determined that Evans had fled New York and was traveling through North Carolina.
Evans was taken into custody by the Union County Sheriff’s Office in Monroe, North Carolina, and remanded to the Union County Jail.
After extradition to New York from North Carolina, Evans was also determined to have an active bench warrant issued by the Elmira City Court for seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and a fugitive from justice warrant out of the Bradford County Sheriff’s Office in Pennsylvania for petition to revoke parole, with a lead offense of aggravated assault.
Evans was arraigned in the Town of Ashland Court for the burglaries and grand larceny charges, as well as the fugitive from justice charge.
Evans was remanded to the Chemung County Jail and will appear in multiple courts at a later date.
