A Leesburg woman was sentenced to jail time in a return scheme at Walmart in Mount Dora.
Mount Dora police officers investigated a series of thefts in May and June of this year in which a woman, identified as 32-year-old Jessica Therrien, would go into the store and get refunds on items she had not purchased. On four occasions she selected items, put them in her cart and then went to the service counter and asked for a refund. The total amount of money she stole from the store was $149.95.
Therrien was found guilty on Friday and was sentenced to 49 days in jail with credit for time served. She was also ordered to pay restitution to Walmart and pay costs and fines totaling $1,002.50. This was a felony conviction.
