Century Woman Charged With Stealing $22.7K From Jailed Man’s Account
April 2, 2016
A Century woman has been charged with withdrawing over $20,000 from a Century man’s bank account while he was in jail.
Lolita Shantel Thomas, 27, was charged with grand theft and fraud for withdrawing $22,700 without the account holder’s permission.
The victim, according to arrest report, is former jail bunkmate of Thomas’ boyfriend. Thomas was given permission to retrieve the victim’s vehicle from the county impound lot following his arrest, but she was not given permission to withdraw funds. Thomas was caught on credit union surveillance video with a black male passenger cashing checks at a drive-thru window. The passenger has not yet been charged in the scheme.
The withdrawals were made over a period of two months in 2015.
Tomas was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

David for playing mice
I wonder who’s check she wrote for the bond?
Yes, socialism in it’s rawest form!
She is charged with stealing $22.7k and the bail is only $10k, I guess that I’d rather know the judge than the law!
Hittin’ a man when he’s down by stealing his cash that’s a cold shoulder.
