A Cedar Grove woman who admitted stealing more than $30,000 from her employer said she would pay it back, authorities said.
Bay County Sheriff’s investigators said Marisol Monroe-Garcia, 43, of 2511 Cedar Lane, used the money she stole from a hair salon to buy a car, go on a cruise and play bingo. Deputies charged her with grand theft of more than $30,000. She was arrested Thursday and released Friday on pretrial release.
According to an incident report from the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, Monroe-Garcia was the manager of Cuts By Us on Tyndall Parkway in Callaway. She stole money from the business between October and December 2007, Deputy Luther Burnham said in a Sheriff’s Office incident report. The incident report said Monroe-Garcia “rolled the money,” basically stealing a deposit and then replacing it with a later deposit.
When her boss confronted her, Monroe-Garcia wrote a confession and said she would pay the money back with monthly installments of $500 and give up her vacation pay for 2008, according to the report. But instead of agreeing to the payments, the owner called the Sheriff’s Office.
