Century Woman Charged With Stealing $3K In Money Orders

October 11, 2023

A Century woman is accused of printing and stealing money orders and taking scratch off lottery tickets from an Escambia County convenience store where she was employed.

Lekicia Ann Manuel, 36, was charged with grand theft. She was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $3,000 bond.

Manuel printed and stole seven Western Union money orders totalling $3,002.98 and also took $630 worth of Florida Lottery scratch off tickets, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. She was working at a Cumberland Farms store on W Street, and her alleged crimes were caught on video during the early morning hours of August 16, according to an arrest report.

Management reported the incident after store reports showed the missing money orders.

    It is evidenced from the huge smile that she isn’t worried about her sentence, especially with the weak sentences being handed out by the judges in this county…..

    REGARDING:
    “David Green not all felons should be felons and it shouldn’t hang over someone’s head all their life.”

    So, you want to hire her? Mighty big of you.

    David for better people

    She looks so happy where she’s at probably not her first time of stealin just her first time getting caught.Wonder if she’d pawned her teeth after this lol. David Green not all felons should be felons and it shouldn’t hang over someone’s head all their life. Especially if they turned their life around or got away from that bad crowd etc. I honestly think there should be classes to prove someone’s worthy enough to get their rights and life restored.

    Take whatever hand she writes with, if she can write, and cut it off. Also, can we make the bonds be higher than what they stole? I mean, really.

    @ David Huie Green – I’m not sure why anyone hired her with several visits to the jail in Pensacola. It’s Cumberland Farms fault for not checking her personal records better.

    She’s free again.

    Who wants to hire her next?

    Who wants to complain about how hard it is for felons to find work?

    It wasn’t good enough to just have a job. Did she really think they wouldn’t miss that money.
