District Attorney’s Office Employee Charged With Theft, Forgery
September 6, 2011
A former employee of the Escambia County (Ala.) District Attorney’s Office has been charged with stealing from her employer.
Monica Lynn Watson was indicted on two counts of theft of property, three counts of forgery and one count of using her official position for personal gain.
Watson was accused of mishandling checks in the DA’s Worthless Check Unit for personal gain, then filing motions to dismiss with the court in connection with the bad check cases.
She was released from the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton on a $100,000 bond.

REGARDING: There are people that would not wrong members of their own group, but see nothing wrong with preying on outsiders, sad when a mind is warped that way. I could not agree more. There are groups that think they are above all, by virtue of the belief that God made this world for them, and its contents are for thier disposal. They even write a book of law on the subject. I guess that is why groups must pursue that which is in their own best interest. I suspect it has been that way since Cain murdered his sibling Abel. Sad, but true. Peace.
Amen Stacy.
“This behavior was learned.”
Not learned – every person is born evil.

You’re probably right. There are people who would never wrong members of their own group but see nothing wrong with preying on outsiders.
Still….. Sad when a mind is warped that way.
David for better people
It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! Orange looks nice. Maybe she helped out some criminals that are in jail now! Maybe they can watch her back! What an idiotic thing to do….REALLY!
What makes you think her friends or family were involved in this? This woman stole, and she dropped the charges to cover her tracks. If the people who paid their checks, and court cost still had to come to court, the truth would come out! She did this on her own, ALL by herself!!
she didn’t hire any relative but I would bet some of the worthless checks that were dismissed were friends or relatives!
Hello David, this is not a lack of conscience, it is a sense of having commited no wrong. This behavior was learned.
looks like a nice lady, shame she seems to have no conscience
In a climate where people with advanced degrees and impeccable records, cannot find employment, Ms Watson decides to throw hers out the window. No one in their right mind will hire her now. I can offer this advice, on her new career. Make sure it weighs right.
Man ! just how dumb do you have to be to steal from the D A ’s office?
I mean , Really ????
This is the 2nd time this has happened…..seems like monica would have learned from the first person……guess it’s just to easy to steal….she looks real proud of what she did…..hope they can eventually hire the RIGHT person
I would ask, “what is wrong with people today”, except that I already know the answer….greed, selfishness, lack of caring….just to name some.
This probably is a decent paying job that so many good, upright, HONEST people would like to have just to work and make a living. This is pathetic….
Need to clean house in Brewton lot more than her doing nepotism among other things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nepotism..which relative did she hire?
Absolutely disgusting
It is no wonder I could never collect on the bad checks that were written to my shop with employees like this.Maybe she was praticing nepotism?
