"a $353.95 charge to the Polo Club,"
Wait wait wait! She paid her rent with it? How did the victim not notice that much money gone all at once? How was Lirette dumb enough to pay rent with it?

For the rest of this girl's life she'll have a felony conviction for a CoolWrap combo. They should put this girl in a commercial. "What would you do for waffle fries?"

It was another female who she once knew. a crack head can break into 40 cars and rob 11 people but his bond would have been lower than this girls.

I was in jail with this red headed chick...I thought I was screwed with a 2500 dollar bond. Ron is correct: a crack head can break into 40 cars and rob 11 people but his bond would have been lower than this girls. (Continued…)
