Turns out she was on probation for battery:
LAKE WORTH, Fla. -- A teenaged girl accused of helping to steal money from a 9-year-old Girl Scout last week was arrested Tuesday and charged with violating her parole, WPBF News 25 reported.
Witnesses told WPBF that Stefanie Woods, who turned 18 Tuesday, and a 17-year-old female friend snatched an envelope containing $164 off of Girl Scout Gracie Smith's cookie table outside of a Lake Worth Winn-Dixie supermarket last Wednesday.
Police said that the other teen, whose name is not being released because she is a juvenile, jumped into a car being driven by Woods and then sped away from the scene, leaving Smith behind in tears.
"I thought that it was a really mean thing to do, and I was sad after," Smith said.
The teens returned to the scene the next day and taunted the girl and the troop after seeing reports of their heist on the news, WPBF reported.
The girls told WPBF that they were not remorseful for the crime, and that they did it because they "needed money."
"She was the getaway driver and I was the robber," the 17-year-old girl said.
Both girls told WPBF that they were not sorry for stealing from the scout and that they were mad because they got caught.
"We went through all that effort to get it, we got all these charges and we had to give the money back. I'm kind of pissed," Woods told WPBF.
A father of one of the teens paid Smith's mother back the $164 that was taken, but it was not the exact bills from the envelope, WPBF reported.
Woods was arrested Tuesday on a violation of probation charge. State Attorney's Office Spokesman Mike Edmondson said Woods was on probation for a battery charge and that her probation officer alerted police after seeing the teen on TV admitting to robbing the girl scout.
Woods was booked into the Palm Beach County Juvenile Assessment Center and is expected to make her first appearance in court Wednesday afternoon.
The State Attorney's Office has yet to decide whether to charge the teens with the theft, WPBF reported.
