‘Shorty’ Charged With Cantonment Grand Theft Auto, Hit And Run

February 2, 2012

A Cantonment woman known as “Shorty” was charged with grand theft auto for stealing a pickup truck and crashing into a fence.

Latasha Thompson was arrested after being identified by multiple witnesses as the person who took a green Ford Ranger from Quarters Road in Cantonment.

An Escambia County deputy responding to the stolen vehicle call found the Ranger crashed into a fence on nearby Booker Street during the early morning hours of January 21. A resident at that address identified the driver of the truck as “Shorty”, a short, white female that frequents the neighborhood, according to a Sheriff’s Office arrest report. She had fled the scene prior to the arrival of the deputy.

The victim also told deputies that “Shorty” had taken his truck, and he knew “Shorty” because she “had been staying with him for a short time”.  The victim identified “Shorty” as Thompson. A warrant was issued for her arrest. Thompson was arrested on the warrant late Tuesday night and booked into the Escambia County Jail. She was also charged with hit and run by the Florida Highway Patrol in connection with hitting the fence.
