In criminal law, fraud is intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent. Fraud is a crime and a civil law violation, though the specific criminal law definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud. A hoax also involves deception, but without the intention of gain or of damaging or depriving the victim. law enforcement career

I will start this comment by saying I did not vote for Perryam for Sherrif. Now, that being said: I really must shake my head at some of the comments on here. My daughter is only 8, but I can tell you that I am the daughter of a druggie/theif. My father has a serious problem, and has spent most of his life in and out of prison. When he clean, he is a great guy, but sadley, there are not too many of those days. When he gets high, he wants to stay high, and will steal from anyone to make a dollar to stay high. Now, why does my dad act this way? Out of the 5 of my grandmother's children, he is the only one that has turned out this way. I am not going to blame my grandmother for his addictions or problems. My dad is an adult, and fully capable of making his own decisions. It doesn't matter how well we raise our children, in the end, we can only hope that they make the right decisions when the time arises. We lay a foundation, and what our children choose to do with it is their choice. We can't force them to make the right decisions. Who cares if they did not report where Allison lives. I think after reading these comments on here it was a smart move. You guys sound like the chopping block. Where is the drug paraphernalia charge? Well, give it time. Posession is 9/10ths of the law, and law enforcement knows this. As for the comment about the bail: do the dang math! The bond is $5k, you pay 10%, which is $500. Just like everyone else that pays their bail. What do you want her father to say to the public? You don't think it is embarassing for him (as the sheriff), or for any other parent (regardless of their position in society) to deal with it? Ok, she may not only have a problem with stealing things, but she may have a drug problem, too. God help me if I ever have to hear this kind of news about my daughter when she is older. I would be so heartbroken. I've already talked to my daughter of drugs, as I have had to explain why her grandfather is not in her life. I'm not going to hide anything from her, in hopes that a message is taught early on. She sees people on the streets walking that are clearly under the influence of something, and I explain it. We can only hope that what we teach our children when they are young will be enough when they are older. There is no rewind button in life to try and fix things. I just can't stand seeing judgment being passed on people, regardless of who they are, when so many of us deal with personal struggles in our own lives. It's like you see someone else going thru something, so you dive right in because it takes the attention off of your own life for a while. Let the Sheriff deal with what he has to deal with. Let the justice system deal with his daughter. I highly doubt Home Depot will back down from charges, as they don't play these kinds of games with their employees. Just watch how you take aim at people, and think before you speak.

With luck every addict and alcoholic reaches their bottom before they die from the disease. Some have to go to jail to find it. Let's all pray she will turn her life around. To those that are upset that her father may have paid her Bail. I wouldn't leave a child of mine in jail if I had the means to get her out.

to recover from this...get her the right help...stick with her and remember when you ask for help...you know you are worth it...God bless those who are involved....been there..done that...and it works

She got only $500 bail! A class E felony is usually $5,000. And of course they withhold her address. Apparently she has no current occupation either. I wonder if her bail got paid with Home Depot's money or Daddy's money?

Really all the drug paraphernalia belonged to someone else just like she wasn't really trying to steal that sandwich from Publix last March. Where are the charges for the drug paraphernalia? This just the mentality of the Bubba click that think they are above the law! Aug 14th election day Peryam himself parked to close to the Poll in Key Largo, effectively violating election law, Peryams overheard response was "what are they going to do arrest me?" Same mentality as the rest of the admin at the Sheriffs office. Why is it they and their families feel so entitled to do what ever they want? Maybe they should look around WE the common people are tired of their antics and those of their offspring. Thank goodness Home Depot is a national chain and can't be intimidated by her daddy. She needs to go to jail And the sheriffs office needs a leader that people can believe in, not the current Bubba system!

I hope that she will now get the treatment she needs to help not only herself, but to encourage her friend to whom the questionable items belong to get better, too.

Citizen, do you always call the parents of a 26 year old for comment? Talk about sensationalism.
