ALFRED — A Saco woman charged with stealing more than $37,000 from an elderly blind man won’t be making a court appearance today, as previously scheduled.

A York County Jail corrections staffer this morning said Susan Sajecki, 52, of Saco was released on bail sometime Tuesday. The jail’s computer system was erratic this morning and so no further information, including a new court date, was available.

Sajecki was taken into custody by sheriff’s department Waterboro patrol deputy Shawn Sanborn about 7 p.m. Monday,

She is charged with Class B felony theft of more than $37,000 in cash and credit card expenditures from a 78-year blind, homebound man she had volunteered to assist, said York County Sheriff Bill King.

The alleged thefts took place in February.

King said the sheriff’s office received information about some suspicious checks drawn from the victim’s account ”“ the checks were made out to Sajecki and one family member. As the investigation developed, it revealed that unauthorized purchases were also made on the man’s credit card.

The sheriff said the victim had not authorized either the checks or credit card expenditures.

King, in a telephone interview Monday night, said the victim is a Saco resident ”“ the case was investigated and pursued by the sheriff’s office because of information developed by Sanborn through connections in Waterboro.

Upon conviction, a Class B felony theft by unauthorized taking charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
