Law enforcement says Latonya Renee Williams allegedly attempted or completed six fraudulent credit card transactions at two Walmart stores in 2021.
Deputies say video surveillance and a later identification linked her to the incidents.
Williams was arrested on December 2, 2025, booked without bond, and is scheduled to appear in court on January 15, 2026.
An Arkansas woman was taken into custody in Okaloosa County after law enforcement said she allegedly used another person’s credit cards multiple times at two Walmart locations in 2021.
According to an arrest affidavit filed by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, Latonya Renee Williams, 36, was booked into the Okaloosa County Jail on December 2, 2025, on six felony counts of allegedly using a credit card illegally involving more than $100—violations of Florida Statute 817.61.
Deputies say the incidents occurred on November 17, 2021, at the Walmart stores at 1300 John Sims Parkway in Niceville and 748 Beal Parkway in Fort Walton Beach.
Video surveillance from both stores allegedly shows Williams attempting or completing six transactions using the victim’s credit cards. According to the report:
Two voided transactions for $827.52 each were recorded at the Niceville Walmart.
At the Fort Walton Beach location, deputies say there were three voided transactions — two for $827.52 and one for $1,448.16 — and two completed transactions for the same amounts.
The Sheriff’s Office states that Williams was identified about an hour after the Niceville incident during an unrelated interaction with a deputy.
Williams was booked at the Okaloosa County Jail on December 2 at 11:17 a.m. and is being held without bond. She is scheduled to appear in court on January 15, 2026, at the Okaloosa County Courthouse Annex Extension in Fort Walton Beach.
Williams is presumed innocent unless and until she is proven guilty in a court of law.
