A woman from Ohio has been caught with her hand in the cookie jar, literally.
Noel Hines, 31, allegedly accepted a large order for Girl Scout cookies to sell for her daughter's Girl Scout troop in March but when it came time for the bill to be paid, the Girls Scouts of Western Ohio claim they never received any payment.
Girl Scout officials and police say they then tried to contact Hines several times over a period of six months but were never successful at reaching her in order to retrieve the $1,600 that they were owed.
'That's the way the cookie crumbles,' North College Hill police wrote in aFacebook post.
Earlier this week Hines was arrested for unrelated charges and charged with theft at the North College Hill Mayor's court.
The cookies According to the Girl Scouts of America's cookie manual are $4 dollars each — making Hines responsible for around 400 boxes of cookies from her daughter's local troop.

That happened in Princess Anne last year with a majorette troupe. Parents paid for cookies but no cookies delivered as the manufacturer got a bad check. The troupe leader was charged and sentencing was delayed so she could pay everyone back, which she did. She finally got 90 days suspended on a charge of theft less than $100.
ReplyDeleteIt was a credit to those who were cheated not to write it off, and for the state to prosecute.
So 1600 bucks is equal to what like 7 boxes of those overpriced communists treats...
