Attorneys in Peoria say a former Illinois Eye Center receptionist has spent the last three weeks in a Las Vegas jail cell. Andrea Jordan is accused of using confidential patient information to steal their identities.

Attorneys tell the Associated Press, Jordan was arrested in Las Vegas on April 28 while she was going to a grocery store. Since then, the 37-year-old woman has waived her right to an extradition hearing and awaits return to Peoria.

Last month, a Peoria County grand jury returned a seven-count bill of indictment alleging Jordan committed identity theft.
