Dedra Ann Berg, 35, of Lasaille Avenue, Kenmore, is charged with criminal contempt, 2nd. Berg is accused of going to the house of her boyfriend's victim on Overlook Drive, Batavia, in violation of an order of protection out of the Village of Kenmore. Berg reportedly has similar charges pending in the Village of Kenmore Court.

Mary Ellen,
Give me a break! A lot of us are living in desperate times, but not all of us commit crimes to "support what ever it is we are into" you and I know this is not Sandy's first brush with the law. She is old enough to know better and does not need you to justify her actions. Why is it that people no longer take personal responsibility for their actions without somebody blaming society or casting fault on the mean nasty government. You did the crime now do the time (again).

I have thought long and hard about posting a comment about this situation,since, unfortuntely Sandy has touched our lives for the last four years. She deserves everything she gets and I hope the judge throws the book at her, because if she had to be held accountable for all of the things she has done to my family in the last four years, she would have been back in prison a long time ago....and I hope that's where the judge will be sending her back to as well. And for the record, she has had absolutely no reason to steal because she was being very well taken care of. She's either just plain greedy or needs some major medical attention, either way, I can only hope that she will no longer be part of our family very soon and our lives can go back to normal, before she came into the picture.
