Proctor is facing charges including forgery, theft by unlawful taking, identity theft, access device fraud, trademark counterfeiting, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Proctor was formally arraigned on May 3 and remains in the Dauphin County Prison on $50,000 bail.
