Bay County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to Discover Rental Purchase at 131 Tyndall Parkway on Monday and received a complaint that a woman had failed to return a plasma T.V. and two laptop computers she rented Oct. 1-2, valued at $8,409.60, according to a BCSO incident report.
After unsuccessful attempts to contact the woman and mailing her certified notice letters, the store filed a notice of retrieval of the property, the report said, and deputies were provided a sworn recorded statement.
It was eventually discovered the woman was at Bay County Jail for violation of probation, the report said. A complaint affidavit was taken to the jail, where a charge of failure to return rental property was added to the woman’s booking sheet.
