CACHE, Okla. (AP) - A Cache woman has been arrested for allegedly stealing $50 won by a 10-year-old boy in a school art contest.
The Lawton-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/un32rc
) that 43-year-old Carolyn Beeson is charged with petit larceny for
allegedly taking the $50 bill from the child on Thursday and using the
money to buy cigarettes.
Online jail records show
Beeson was arrested Friday and was being held in the Comanche County
jail on Saturday. Court records don't list an attorney for her and there
is no telephone listing for her.
The boy said he went to the
home with Beeson's son after being given the money and a certificate
for winning first place in the contest and Beeson asked to see the bill
to compare it with a $100 bill she had - then left the home with the
money.
