Woman Steals Cash Register Containing 25 cents

A Miami woman was arrested for helping to steal a cash register from a bagel shop in Gainesville. Unfortunately for her the cash register wasn’t a cash register at all as it only contained a quarter. 

"I needed some bubblegum!"

Erica Denise Phillips, 28, faces charges of grand theft and burglary. According to an arrest report:

Phillips said her role in the incident was to drive an alleged accomplice  in his car to and from the bagel shop, and search the cash register for money, The Gainesville Sun reported.

Phillips said the man broke the front door’s window to get inside and carried the $800 cash register to the car, the newspaper reported.

Erica Philips was released on her own recognizance.
