Stephanie King, a 25-year-old Oil City woman, is facing new charges for missing a court appearance in June related to four prior cases. After waiving preliminary hearings for those cases, she failed to attend her June 18 arraignment, resulting in a bench warrant for her arrest. The original cases involved charges of identity theft, receiving stolen property, forgery, and unauthorized use of access devices, among others.
