Cantonment Woman Charged With Stealing Newly Purchased Pickup From Couple

December 18, 2020

A Cantonment woman is charged with allegedly stealing a newly purchased used pickup truck from a local couple.

Kristi Nicole Mitchell, 43 was charged with felony grand theft of a vehicle, felony grand theft  and criminal mischief.

The victim was out with friends when she told Mitchell that she would give her a ride to work, but the victim needed to stop by her house first, according to an arrest report. Shortly after arriving on Cottage Hill Road, the victim and her husband discovered that the 2002 two-tone Ford F150 pickup truck they had just bought was missing.

The truck, valued at $2,500, also contained $1,456 worth of personal property including a phone, two jackets, makeup and nail polish, sunglasses and a fire pit, the report states.

The phone was tracked, eventually leading to the discovery of the truck behind a residence on Cedartown Road in Molino. The resident stated that it had been dropped off for repairs, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report said. The truck had $1,550 worth of damage, including  a dent in the rear bumper and damage to the passenger’s side mirror. In addition, the entire exhaust system was missing.

The stolen items that were in the pickup truck have not been recovered.

Mitchell remained in the Escambia County Jail Friday morning with bond set at $7,500.

    I haven’t seen Kristi in 20+ years. What happened to her? She must have gone through something really hard. I would not have known this was her if I hadn’t read the article. The comments aren’t the friend I remember. I will be praying for you and your family.

    @ Tegdirb
    You are 100% correct.

    @ Justbeachin…how stupid or desperate….at least they are not as desperate as you..to belittle poor people.
    That in itself shows what kind of person no one wants to be.
    YOU

    @justbeachin… JUDGE much? Apparently you have never been through hard times or live paycheck to paycheck like most people do. That truck was new to them and that was their transportation. Maybe they can’t afford 2-3 vehicles and insurance. Maybe YOU can show a little more compassion for others… just saying..

    Justbeachin, To the many many people who work for what they get, $2,500 is a lot of money, and a running vehicle is necessary to provide income. BUT the point is, Kristi Mitchell STOLE the vehicle…that means taking something that does not belong to you and treating it as if it does! Theft is a crime. and BTW, we who work for what we have value what we own, unlike those who steal it from others!

    Confused as to “justbeachin” comment. Yes I would imagine that it did mean that much to them. Maybe you could volunteer to replace this loss if it’s no big deal?

    Oh my. Nicki did the same thing to our family. Borrowed the truck to run down to her home. (3 mins from us). Never came back. I was calling her, texting her. 2 hrs later my stepdaughter took me to Nicki’s trailer to get my truck. Thank you Jesus, no damage. She has been banned from our home.
    Very sad. Drugs are ruining people. Lots of prayer is needed for her.

    I want to ask why are these things happebing? What’s wrong with people? Apparently, more people need Jesus than i thought before. So things dont go your way. Life kicks you in the rear. So what? You dont take it out on other people. Live by a code. The best code is in the Bible. Nuff said.

    That’s why you buy an older vehicle like this. People may steal it, run into it, bang their shopping carts into it, etc.

    Wow!!……A 2002 pickup truck worth $2500 meant THAT much to them?.How stupid or desperate can you be?

    43 are you serious??? She looks closer to 60. But stealing your friend/ acquaintance brand new used ford F50 maybe F250 is just wrong. Then taking it to a cedartown road backyard chop shop to steal the Catalytic converter and other exhaust components. Now look at you sitting in jail and can’t post a low bond. Have a great holiday season sitting in jail. And btw stay off the meth. It shows in your 60 year old appearance.
