A Philadelphia woman was charged for allegedly stealing COVID-19 relief funds intended for a South Florida city. Ashley Stibbins-Parker, 30, reportedly used the money to pay for luxury purchases and a cosmetic procedure known as a Brazilian butt lift. 

Philadelphia Woman Faces Fraud, Money Laundering, and Grand Theft Charges

According to CBS News, court documents filed in Broward County, Florida, detail accusations against Ashley Stibbins-Parker, who is facing charges of fraud, money laundering, and grand theft exceeding $100,000. 

Stibbins-Parker allegedly obtained the check worth approximately $184,000 intended for the City of Weston, Florida, that was mailed in February 2021. However, the check never arrived at the city hall, and Stibbins-Parker opened a checking account under the name of the City of Weston LLC the next month, with a fund coming from the missing check. 

The court documents detail numerous withdrawals and transfers from this account, including significant sums sent to individuals and entities in various states, such as $40,800 to a woman, $78,500 to a property development company in Orlando, Florida, and $8,800 to a woman in Georgia.

Ashley Stibbins-Parker also reportedly spent over $6,200 on a Brazilian butt lift procedure at Adore Plastic Surgery, with the transaction partially funded out of the Bank of America account opened in Georgia.

The funds were also spent on airline tickets, hotel stays, and shopping sprees at upscale retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus in Bal Harbour, Florida. Stibbins-Parker, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, has requested a jury trial. Exactly how she obtained the check is still unclear.
