Woman Facing Felony Charges For Stolen Credit Cards, Loans
September 29, 2017
A Cantonment woman is facing multiple felony counts for using credit and debit cards belonging to her best friend and her mother-in-law, and using fraudulent information to apply for loans.
Tarah Elizabeth Mims, 35, allegedly made 12 charges totaling just over $625 to the female victim’s credit card. Mims also allegedly changed account information on the credit card to her home address while maintaining the victim’s name on the account.
The second victim reported that Mims, her daughter-in-law, had used her debit card to make $212.90 worth of charges at Apple iTunes for “cherries” for the “Bingo Pop” game.
She was also accused of obtaining loans in the names of both victims.
Mims’ estranged husband told deputies that his wife has a drug problem and that she had opened several fraudulent accounts and “payday” type loans under his name.
Mims was charged with two counts of fraudulent use of credit cards, possession of personal information with intent to use, criminal use of personal information, communications fraud and petit theft. She was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $4,500 bond.

Met her many years ago through our kids playing baseball together. Very nice lady and very nice family. Proof that you never know whats going on behind closed doors.
I wonder if she used a creditcard to post bail?
Does saying she has a drug problem excuse everything? This is becoming a very lame excuse for all crime. You make the decision to steal and lie guess what? You are both a thief and a liar.
wow. do your mother-in-law and best friend like that all over drug’s
You see, in the old days, people stole eggs so they would not starve. Today, people steal money to pay for intangible items in a derived computer game which is totally useless. Society evolving down, down, down.
With gainful employment one can afford all the Bingo Pop cherries they want/need.
Who payed her bail? Leave her in the jail.
Drugs again? When will people EVER learn.
