HILLIARD, Fla. — The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday arrested a former middle-high school bookkeeper for allegedly embezzling more than $140,000 in school funds.

Jennifer Folliett, formerly the bookkeeper at Hilliard Middle-Senior High School, faces serious charges including grand theft, organized crime, and official misconduct.

According to her arrest warrant, between 2022 and 2024, Folliett made 148 transactions with checks and cash that went into her personal account. Those transactions ranged from $3 to $6,000.

Investigators say “numerous ticketing records for school sporting events, such as basketball games, were not properly completed or reviewed.”

The arrest warrant also states Folliett is accused of using the school’s Amazon account for personal items like, a chicken coop, weight loss supplements, perfume, and men’s and women’s clothing among other items.

Someone should sue to get the money back for the weight loss supplements.

A buddy of mine only looks at his checking account activity once a month, never checks his online banking app.

Last year, his account got hacked and a huge amount got taken. However, for about a week before the large transaction, there were little unauthorized debits each day for 25-50 cents each.

That was the likely plan from this thief. Nobody’s checking on the little stuff so go for the big score.

To be fair, you don’t know what the “before” looked like. It could be they’re just diet pills and not miracle pills.
