Cantonment Woman Charged With Using Stolen Checks To Repay Stolen Money
December 19, 2017
A Cantonment woman was jailed after allegedly using stolen checks to pay back stolen money.
Traneceia Donya Smith, 33, was booked into the Escambia County Jail on felony charges of grand theft, uttering a forged instrument and dealing in stolen property.
The victim told deputies that Smith had previously stolen $15,000 from the victim’s son, but that crime had gone unreported. The victim said Smith agreed to repay the money to her son and provided a promissory note that she claimed was from Smith’s grandmother.
Smith made payments of $1,900 and $900 with checks from her grandmother, according to arrest report, but both checks bounced. The grandmother told deputies that the checks on a closed account had been stolen, and she did not sign them.
Smith remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $45,000.

Wow….that’s worse than trying to pay off your credit card bill with your credit card!
It’s shocking that a thief would steal money to repay money they stole. A leopard never changes its spots.
