Sharp is arrested for monetary instrument abuse, theft

On December 26, 2022, the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office received a complaint in reference to a theft. During the
investigations, it was learned that the victim allowed his girlfriend to use his debit card. Prior to giving his girlfriend
permission to use the card, it is believed that the suspect Leah Sharp W/F DOB 02/12/1967 of Glenmora Louisiana
overheard the victim and his girlfriend speaking on the phone. During the conversations between the victim and his
girlfriend, the victim provided his girlfriend with his debit card number and thinks that the suspect wrote down the
victim’s account information which resulted in the suspect obtaining approximately $777.98 from the victim’s checking
account without his permission. An arrest warrant was later obtained for the suspect for one count of Monetary
Instrument Abuse and one count of Theft. She was booked into the Evangeline Parish Jail on January 19, 2023 and her
bond was set at $15,000.00.
