A woman was arrested after allegedly stealing Amazon firesticks from Best Buy and fleeing in her car.
Tara Vonshay Masoline, 47, of Leesburg entered the store at Village Crossroads on July 21 and selected three Amazon firesticks and a Fitbit, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. She walked with the items to the appliance aisle, where she put them in her purse. As she attempted to leave the store, a Best Buy employee asked to see her receipt. Masoline walked around the employee and fled.
A Lady Lake police officer stopped Masoline’s vehicle at U.S. Hwy. 27/441 and County Road 25.
The officer noticed that there was perfume, cosmetics, batteries and phone chargers all in new packaging in Masoline’s vehicle.
The three Amazon firesticks and the Fitbit from Best Buy were found in a baby seat in the back seat of the vehicle.
She was arrested on a charge of retail theft and booked at the Lake County Jail. She was released after posting $2,000 bond.
The report indicated this was Masoline’s second arrest for retail theft.
