With so many illegal aliens in the country we have the right to know just how we are being affected by crime and by who.

This lady is a criminal so who cares if she is black white or mexican. The fact is she has been taking advantage of a 89 year old woman.  What if this was your mother or a relative? You wouldn’t be so quick to defend her. Point Blank the Black Lady is a crook and deserves what she has coming to her. So all of you who want to be politically correct, get over it and do something constructive besides critisize the media for doing their job!!! And to the previous comment what if she were white, The media would describe the person as a old ### white lady who exploited the elderly. On numerous occasions the news has reported the exact description provided by the police department. So if you want to complain call the police department!!! Bottom Line This woman is a thief and crook and deserves what has happened!!!!  SO GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just because the police are insensitive doesn’t mean that WMBB can’t use their editorial expertise to clean up something they post as news.  Maybe the PCPD needs some sensitivity training. I am sure they would resent being referred to as “PIGS”!  If the shoe fits…

The information in this article was issued by the Panama City Police Department as a press release.  News13 does not alter press releases.  Press releases when posted, are posted verbatim.

SHAME ON YOU NEWS 13…i’m a white male and i can not understand why you always note the race of a person.. what difference does it make????? get out of your red neck mind set and wake up and be a real news provider….

Why in the world do you have to identify DeLoach as a black woman?  Good God!!!  We are in the 21st century.  The days of insensitivity should be long past. There is simply no reason why a person’s race should be attached to their name in a news story.  What if she were white?  Would she be identified as a white woman??? Come on WMBB.  You certainly have a lot more class than that.
