Jersey County court records show Wedding has a history of drug-related charges dating back to 2014. She was also charged with theft between $500 and $10,000 in a case from July of this year.

Wedding was initially granted pretrial release, but her release was later revoked. The court found no conditions of release could ensure she would either appear in court or avoid subsequent charges.

Jersey County Sheriff’s Office records indicate Wedding currently remains in custody. Her sentencing hearing is set for Oct. 28, 2024.

The issuance of charges is based solely upon probable cause and is not an indication of guilt. All subjects charged with criminal offenses are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
