Molino Woman Charged With Embezzling From Bob Tyler Toyota
June 20, 2017
A Molino woman is facing multiple felony charges after she allegedly embezzled thousands of dollars from Bob Tyler Toyota.
Catherine Elizabeth Gibson, 47, was charged with five counts uttering a forged instrument, grand theft, 18 counts of dealing in stolen property, a violation of the Florida Communication Fraud Act and criminal use of personal identification.
Boy Tyler, owner of Bob Tyler Toyota, reported to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that Gibson had opened a fraudulent bank account using his personal information including Social Security number and birthday. Gibson was linked to the fraudulent account by the use of her phone number and power of attorney paperwork. Gibson was subsequently terminated from her position of an account payable clerk at the dealership.
According to an arrest report, Gibson electronically deposited 14 vendor checks totaling $4,966.32 into the account during a two month period. She also provided four additional vendor checks that taken but not yet deposited, according to an arrest report.
Gibson was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $71,000 bond, according to jail records.

This woman had a good job, and wasted it all on a mere $5000.00 compared to a lifetime job that over time would’ve paid so much more…what an idiotic thing to do…
The reason she bailed out in less than 24 hours is called a bail bondsman and a family willing to help with $5000 bond
Whoever is without sin, cast the first stone!
Why would someone do this to such a nice man as Bob Tyler. If I was in the market for a Toyota I would not hesitate shopping at his dealership.
Why wasn’t she happy to have a good job? What are people thinking when they steal from where they work?
Honesty and pregnancy are the same…you are or you’re not!
Couldnt have happened to a better dealership..
Charlotte – the reason why her bond is so high, is due to the total number of charges she is facing. All together she was arrested on 26 different charges, Each charge has a bond assigned. It appears, that these bonds on each charge are at the low end of the range based on her charges.
1 count Grand Theft under $5,000.
1 count of Fraud/swindle
1 count of Misrepresentation to commit theft
5 counts of Forgery
18 counts of Dealing in Stolen Property
Additionally, a $15,000 bond to some people may as well be a million dollar bond if they dont have the resources to bond out. This lady was able to bond out of jail in less than 12 hours.
You gave up your freedom for five thousand dollars….the same five thousand dollars you would have earned as an employee.
WOW! $71,000 bond for embezzlement, but yet a man can beat up his girlfriend, attempt to kill her and he gets a $15,000 bond. I am so confused.
Lock her up
