A woman who came to a Kenner church for help with a delinquent utility bill is now accused of stealing more than $19,000 from the church's coffers to pay for a car, her insurance, cable and other bills, according to authorities.
Shareafa Watkins, 27, of 3100 Phoenix St., Kenner, was arrested and booked Friday with identity theft valued over $1,000, illegal transfer of monetary funds and being a fugitive from another jurisdiction, according to Lt. Brian McGregor, spokesman for the Kenner Police Department.

She could do all this because the congregation gave her a check to pay her electric bill. (They could have taken down her power company account information and done it online.)

That’s why we ask for the bill and WE mail in the check. What an integrate. Our church doesn’t do this much anymore.

Does she admit to living in Kenner?
I don't think anyone would admit to living in Kenner. It's like living in Westwego!
BTW, she's got the "crazy eye!" (the one on the right)

Watkins was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. She was released Friday on a $30,000 bond. Whatever happened to a $3,000,000 bond?
Throw this b*tch under the jail.
PING!

Interesting. Another criminal robs the well-intentioned collective. We all pay...and are still paying, and paying, and paying. Thanks for posting.

****booked Friday with identity theft valued over $1,000, illegal transfer of monetary funds and being a fugitive from another jurisdiction****
And being a fugitive from another jurisdiction...nothing about what that one was about. She’s obviously not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer...
But how low can you get. Con a church into helping you so you can swindle them out of almost $20,000...
Anyone want to bet she gets no more than a year? I’m leaning toward 6 months...

This is what she owes? If so, how did it go on for so long before those companies pulled the plug on her?
