Woman Writes Bad Checks, Embezzles Rent, Buys $81K In Goods

October 26, 2018

An Escambia County woman is headed to prison for allegedly writing bad checks and embezzling money to purchase items that included a vehicle.

Jessica Harring was sentenced to seven years in state prison after pleading guilty to organized fraud and grand theft.

In September of 2017, Harring opened a checking account with $25 at a local bank and began writing worthless checks for clothes, trips to hair salons, furniture, a 2016 Toyota Highlander, and closing costs for the attempted purchase of a waterfront home in Milton, according to prosecutors.  At the same time, she worked at a property management company  and embezzled several tenant’s rental payments. Harring obtained goods and services totaling over $81,000 in this scheme.

    This is why a business that handles any material amount of money needs to be audited on a regular basis. Too, it is hard to have a business these days without employees robbing you blind.
