With reports Wednesday of a 1995 shoplifting offense in Arizona involving a woman with the identical name and birth date as Noelle Bush, a Leon County official who supervises the pre-trial release program said Bush may not be eligible.
'If we find out you lied to us, you violated out first rule,' Wanda Hunter said. 'That rule is to be honest. If she lied, then she most likely would be taken into custody or she'd have to pay that bond. Because of the profile of this case, this will we checked out.'
Hunter said she plans to review reports of an October 28, 1995, misdemeanor citation of a Noelle Lucia Bush in Flagstaff, Ariz. Police and court reports show that this woman appeared before the city magistrate on Nov. 6 that year and paid a $305.00 fine for shoplifting underwear at a JC Penney store. The woman, then 18, listed her home address 3511 Verde Valley Road, Sedona, Ariz.
The address is the same as an exclusive boarding school, Verde Valley School, said Bob White, deputy chief of the Flagstaff Police Department.
An official with the school Wednesday said information about past of current students is not released. A former student, Alexander Derbes, an Oracle software employee in San Francisco, said Gov. Bush's daughter was a student at the school.
Aside from the identical name and birth date, records were not clear whether the woman in Arizona was the governor's daughter. Their Social Security numbers don't match.
These Arizona operatives are making an effort to dig up sealed, confidential records as part of a diversion agreement that are NOT applicable in this case.
If she has this diversion agreement as a juvenile the files are locked and they are not to be released to anyone.
Eighteen years old is NOT juvenile under the law of Arizona!
She might have been caught shop-lifting $10.00 worth of material .... and even though a misdemeanor - could be a find of hundreds of dollars.
Big Deal. It's not like she was buying Coke for her father ... (remember Roger Clinton... ON TAPE ... saying something to the effect that the snort he was trying was great, and he needed to get some for his brother, who had a nose like a vacuum cleaner.) Seems the media will report every little problem from the Bush family, even though it has no direct linkage to the ability of the parent to govern. But if it is a Democrat family member, and there is possible direct connection to the elected person ... IGNORE/DENY/IGNORE. [would this suggest that the media might be biased??? gasp!!! say it ain't so!!]

Ditto. Don't blame the Dems for this. If all this info is authentic, and they hang her, she bought her own rope.
If she lied, make her pay the bail.
Skirting the law? Skirting? I want you on the jury if I am charged with a crime.
And no, Noelle's troubles are not a reflection on Jeb's parenting skills. No matter how hard parents try, some kids will do just about anything to get into trouble.
