New Charges Against Casey Anthony, Mother of Missing Caylee

Casey Anthony, the mother of missing 3-year old Caylee Anthony, has been charged with fraud and theft on Thursday, adding to the long list of charges in her case.

The Florida State Attorney's Office has officially filed charges against Anthony, 22, who has been bonded out of jail twice since being arrested on suspicion of a role in her daughter Caylee's disappearance.

Anthony now has 10 charges filed against her, including grand theft, three charges of fraudulent use of personal identification, three counts of forgery of a check and three charges for uttering a forged check.

The recent charges were filed after Casey allegedly stole checks and money from a friend in July. Each count is a third-degree felony, which is punishable by up to five years in prison.

The State Attorney's Office said that these are just formal charges and that Casey already bonded out on these alleged crimes. No arrest will be made.

Casey is currently staying with her parents in East Orlando as she is fitting with a bracelet and placed on house arrest. Prior to her second stint in jail, officials found chloroform and evidence of a decomposed body in her trunk.
