A Batavia woman accused of defrauding elderly Genesee County residents of more than $300,000 was in court today for a bail review hearing and sat in her chair and sobbed through the entire proceeding.
Heidi L. Schollard, 161 Bank St., Batavia, had her bail adjusted by Judge Robert C. Noonan upward to $50,000 cash or bond.
Her original bail set in a lower court was $25,000. She is in the custody of Genesee County Jail, but being held in Livingston County Jail, which has facilities for women inmates.
Schollard was initially arrested in December 2010 for allegedly stealing about $250,000 from a Batavia resident and that case is still pending.
She was out of jail during the proceedings in that case and was arrested again earlier this month and accused of defrauding another elderly person. The alleged victim in this case is a resident of Alabama.
In both cases, Schollard was reportedly a care giver for the victims.
Schollard is accused fraud and filing false tax returns.
The charges against Schollard include two counts of criminal tax fraud, 3rd, two counts of grand larceny, 3rd, one count of grand larceny, 4th, 13 counts of offering a false instrument for filing, five counts of forgery and 10 counts of falsifying business records.

Wow, Hiedi was our baby sitter 18 years ago, I cringe every time this story updates.
The more that I read, the more I feel that she deceived us all.
good - let her out of jail
good - let her out of jail now, while she's awaiting trial - - so she can disappear along with the guy from Alabama that was supposed to appear for sentencing !!!!
