MARION COUNTY, Fla. (Fox4) - The Marion County Sheriff’s Office says a 14-year-old student at Lake Weir Middle School broke into her grandparents’ safe & stole about $13,500 in cash – half her grandmother’s life savings left over after she’d sold her house. Then, the sheriff’s office says the girl started handing the cash out to people at school.
The girl accused of stealing the money told deputies a friend who’d moved away gave it to her to hand out. Students who accepted the money told deputies the girl claimed it was her grandmother’s money & she had permission to give it away.
Some students didn’t buy that story & reported it to administrators and the school resource officer.
The young girl is now facing felony charges for grand theft. She was arrested Friday morning & given a $2,000 bond.
Deputies and officials at the school are trying to get the money back. They found around $2,500 left in the teenager's backpack. One student handed in $200 & at least 1 other brought $500 back to the front office. The Sheriff's Office and school officials are asking parents to check with their kids to see if they received any of the stolen money.
