A College Station woman awaiting trial on charges of committing property crimes is back in jail. Darlene Graves was arrested Friday, the day after her 35th birthday, on a warrant from Washington County where she is charged with violating probation from a 2013 conviction of criminally negligent homicide. She had been out on bond following her Brazos County indictments on felony theft with prior convictions and unauthorized use of credit cards belonging to the elderly. Washington County District Attorney Julie Rencken says the arrest warrant was due to failure to pay fines and the charges in Brazos County. Graves entered a plea agreement in July 2013 to the August 2010 death of a group home resident who drowned while in Graves’s care. Graves was sentenced to two years but was given five years probation. In Brazos County, Graves is accused of creating two credit card accounts in the name of an elderly woman she was working for.
