Florida TSA Agent named Taleta Collier has been arrested and accused of forging a police report about a burglary just to cover for her lateness at work. According to Click Orlando, Taleta Collier was arrested on Monday. She was “reportedly on an employee improvement plan for excessive tardiness.”
When she arrived for her shift, deputies said Collier told her boss she reported to the sheriff’s office that a man with a knife tried to break into her parents’ car. Collier could not provide a case number or business card of a detective investigating the incident, so she was asked by her supervisor for a copy of the report, the sheriff’s office said.
Collier sent a screenshot of a document to her supervisor claiming it was a police report. However, she was asked to provide a physical copy because the screenshot “was cut off halfway through the second page and no incident description was visible.” Not long after the supervisor forwarded the document to authorities was it determined to be a fake report. Collier did, however, use the name and number of a current deputy who was on vacation at the time the alleged report was filed.
Taleta Collier is facing charges of criminal use of a personal ID and uttering a false document.
This doesn’t seem like something that she should go to jail for. Maybe just fired, but then again she could have come up with a better reason for being late.
What happened to just saying you had a flat tire or something. Then you can always let the air out of tire, take a photo and keep it moving.
I am not saying I may or may not have used that excuse in the past, but I am just saying there were better ways than this.
