A woman was arrested after finding a Villager’s wallet that fell from his golf cart at a gas station at Pinellas Plaza.
The Villager had been at the Marathon service station on Friday pumping gas into his golf cart when he put his wallet containing $507 on the roof of the golf cart, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. When he drove away, the wallet fell to the ground.
The Villager returned a short time later to look for the wallet, which he found along the east side of the parking lot. The wallet was empty.
Surveillance footage showed a green Ford pickup pull up to the pump after the Villager left. A woman got out of the truck, picked up the wallet and put it in the vehicle. The woman who had picked up the wallet saw the Villager return and saw that he was looking for the wallet, the arrest report said. She made no effort to return the wallet. The truck’s license plate number was captured on surveillance.
Police on Sunday went to the home of 59-year-old Joyce Green at 604 Masters Ave. in Wildwood. She was arrested on a felony charge of grand theft. She was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center and released after posting $2,000 bond.
