Can you be held for theft charges, with only one person's word against you?

An acquaintance of mine has been in jail almost 3 weeks. Her boyfriend claims she stole $5000 out of his apartment. She swears she didn't do it, and can't make bail. My question is, can they keep her simply because this guys says she did it? I would assume they need more evidence than that.

    "Can you be held for theft charges, with only one person's word against you?"

    "can they keep her simply because this guys says she did it?"

    As to each - It's evidence, so yes they can.

    "I would assume they need more evidence than that."

    Your assumption is wrong.

    If there's evidence, they can charge her. If there's basis to assume she's a flight-risk, they can hold her.

    Yes and no .

    If he is an upstanding member of the community then they would take his word for it but he is not so i think they will need more evidence .

    The police will also look at what he has to gain from doing this , have they had a fight .

    Go and get some legal help this sounds wrong , you can get free legal help just ask .
