BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. On August 25, 2026, The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office received a report regarding the theft of a large amount of U.S. currency from a private residence.
The victims reported that nearly $400,000 in cash had been stolen from their home and identified their cleaning lady as the primary suspect.
Investigators with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect as Tabitha White, 28, of Bay Minette, and interviewed her regarding the theft. During the interview, White told investigators that over the course of several months, she had taken “handfuls” of cash while cleaning the victims’ residence.
As the investigation continued, investigators discovered that White had allegedly used stolen funds to purchase numerous items. This information led to the execution of a search warrant at her residence. During the search, investigators seized documents related to the purchases, along with numerous items believed to have been purchased with the stolen funds. Items seized as evidence included vehicles, four-wheelers, electronics, lawn equipment, construction supplies, and other property.
White was charged with one felony count of Financial Exploitation of the Elderly. Additional charges may be filed as the investigation continues.
The successful progression of this investigation was made possible through the combined efforts of the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division, Investigations Division, Rural Enforcement Unit, and Law Enforcement Support Services Division.
