<p>Not a modern-day Robin Hood with a twist! A <strong>teenage girl</strong> faces the possibility of a felony charge after gifting a chunk of her grandmother&#8217;s savings to her classmates and others.</p>
<p>At this time, the girl&#8217;s identity is not public due to her minor status. However,<em> </em>the 14-year-old, who resides about 60 miles northwest of Orlando in Summerfield, stands accused of swiping about $13,500 from her granny&#8217;s home safe.</p>
<p>Marion County deputies responded to a call from Lake Weir Middle School on October 20 over complaints of a student handing out cash to their classmates. The <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-student-gives-10k-classmates-allegedly-stealing-grandmothers-s-rcna53556" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrest report states</a> the receiving students were pocketing hundreds each, per <em>NBC News. </em></p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Girl Claims Money Was From Unknown Source At First</strong></h5>
<p>School employees searched the teenager&#8217;s backpack and discovered nearly $2,500. At first, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/dj-akademiks-says-he-was-breaking-up-girlfriends-fight-with-woman-in-im-the-prize-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the girl claimed</a> an unknown former student gave her the money because they wanted it distributed.</p>
<p>However, those involved in the case later discovered the money wasn&#8217;t a random act of generosity. Instead, the teenage girl had committed a crime against her grandmother by dipping into her life savings. Investigators revealed the 14-year-old had broken into her elder&#8217;s home safe and swiped more than $13,000. The girl<a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/two-teenagers-arrested-after-allegedly-murdering-la-fashion-district-store-owner-over-a-wig/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> told investigators</a> she busted open the safe using a screwdriver and metal pick.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear whether the teenager lives with her grandmother or was visiting during the break-in. Though the girl has admitted to stealing the thousands, she hasn&#8217;t given investigators a motivation behind the break-in. The girl also didn&#8217;t mention why her classmates at school and at a bus stop became the beneficiaries of the stolen coins.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She advised she took a stack of 20 dollar bills the size of about 6 inches out of the safe,&#8221; per the arrest report.</p></blockquote>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Officials Recover Less Than Half Of The Stolen Money</strong></h5>
<p>Within 24 hours of busting the teenager, officials recovered about $700 of the money other students received. The grandmother received that $700 combined with the $2,500 found in the girl&#8217;s backpack.</p>
<p>Multiple outlets say the girl is facing grand theft charges. Under Florida law, grand theft means &#8220;unlawful taking or using of property valued at $750 or more&#8221; with the intent to block the property owner of their usage rights.</p>
<p>Given the amount of money taken, the girl could be looking at a third-degree grand theft charge which lists theft of property valued between $750 and less than $20,000.</p>
<p>A conviction would mean up to five years in prison or five years probation with a $5,000 fine. It&#8217;s unclear if the grandmother or the state is the driving force behind the charges and whether the girl has obtained an attorney.</p>
