News Herald Arrest Report
| Georgia women caught laundering money
Four Columbus, Ga., women are facing theft charges
after law enforcement was alerted of possible wrongdoing at a local
retail store.
Conducting an operation at a Lenoir City retail
store, agents with Loudon County Sheriffs Office and the 9th
Judicial Drug Task Force were notified of potential fraudulent
returns at the customer service desk. Officers were given the
description of a vehicle connected to a group of women and made a
traffic stop.
In plain view was a fraudulent Georgia ID inside the
vehicle. Agents were granted consent to search the vehicle from
driver Rita F. Redding and found $1,693.08 in stolen property from
the retail store, fraudulent Georgia and Alabama ID cards, more than
40 gift cards from the retail store and a large amount of prepaid
Visa cards.
During this event it was uncovered that another
individual with this group, Ashley Robinson, was at (a local
grocery store), Brenden DeBoer, DTF agent, wrote in his report.
DeBoer talked with Robinson and asked to see her ID. She
presented Georgia identification that appeared authentic, but
had an altered number.
Redding, Robinson, Kimberly R. Adams and Emily N.
Redding were traveling to retail stores in multiple states
stealing property from the store and returning the items. They
structured the returns in $50 increments, according to the
report.
They would receive the refund for the stolen
items on a (retail store) gift card due to the lack of a
receipt, DeBoer wrote in the report. After several returns
they would transfer these balances onto Visa cards to launder
the money for use anywhere. Occupants used altered ID cards in
furtherance of this criminal conspiracy.

forgery, fraudulent use of an Alabama ID, fraudulent ID with
altered numbers, identity theft and money laundering and held on
$67,500 bond.
