Molino Dollar General Assistant Manager And Her Boyfriend Charged With Theft
November 21, 2024
A Molino man and his store assistant manager girlfriend have been charged with stealing from the Dollar General in Molino.
Ronald Lee Woods, 37, and Jessica Elizabeth Fail, 39, were both charged with grand theft and coordinating with others to commit retail theft. Both charges are felonies.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Molino Dollar General location on Highway 29 just north of Molino Road where a loss prevention manager told deputies that they were instigating Fail, the assistant store manager, for employee theft that had occurred multiple times over the course of a year. The loss prevention manager told deputies that Fail had admitted to several thefts with the help of Woods, her boyfriend. The loss prevention manager said Fail provided a written statement admitting to stealing over $3,000 worth of merchandise over a period of several months, according to an arrest report.
Dollar General alleged Woods would enter the store, fill a tote with merchandise, Fail would only ring up the price of the tote, and Woods would leave with the merchandise. Most of the statements made by Woods and Fail were redacted from the report.
Woods was released from jail on a $2,500 bond, while Fail was freed on a $12,000 bond.

REGARDING:
“Dollar General is 99% at fault for hiring these kind of people.”
Assuming you mean thieves, I doubt Dollar General knew at the time they were thieves. Anyone who knew but gave a good reference is partially to blame, but I’m with Mike and my beloved Ronald Reagan on this. Criminals who plan and conspire to commit crimes are responsible for their own actions. Even if a hundred people tell you it’s okay, it is still YOUR decision.
@MikeJ, you haven’t a clue what I meant. I wasn’t blaming society for anything. This type of thing happens frequently at this store, as well as similar stores. They are what they attract.
@Mike,
Well, sir, to be fair, as a business owner, I care about my employees, but if they “got anything to do with loss of funds” you’d better believe that I’m firing them and pressing charges! WHY would I value an employee who is stealing from me??? “Nearer my God to thee”? How about “Thou shalt not steal”?
yep, they will fire you in a heartbeat if they figure you got anything to do with loss of funds, they don’t care.must lose a lot of employees that way. Never missed a day’s work with DG.Hopefully they will value their employees more. Nearer my God to thee.
Susie, can you explain what you mean by “these kind of people”? How exactly should DG have known beforehand that she was “this type”? By looking at her? Judging her because of her outfit the day of her interview? The color of her skin? Maybe they should have asked in the interview if she was a thief. I’m sure she would have been honest. Smdh
I bet her kids are really proud of her! “Hey look, mama is in the news today!”
@Suzie,
“We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” ~ Ronald Reagan’s Speech at the Republican National Convention, Platform Committee Meeting, Miami, Florida, July 31, 1968.
The decision to steal was made by the people in this case, not the company who is the victim in this case. Don’t blame the greater group because it has the larger funds available. Blame the people who decided to commit theft and therefore become criminals.
Maybe someone deserving can be hired instead of someone who obviously doesn’t appreciate having a job. Is being a thief worth this? Embarrassment, no income, criminal record!!! I really don’t believe people think ahead of the opportunities of bad behavior!! That’s why clrime doesn’t pay. I feel sorry for their families.
FAIL! That’s what will happen when she applies for another job. Dollar General is 99% at fault for hiring these kind of people.
What are these people thinking!
A thief is a thief is a thief.
