Woman arrested on Breach of Trust with Fraudulent Intent Charge

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office arrested an Oconee County woman over the weekend on a charge of Breach of Trust with Fraudulent Intent. 23-year-old Courtney Beatrice Lawrence was booked into the Oconee County Detention Center. A deputy spoke with the victim by phone on Dec. 3. The victim, who is a family member of Lawrence’s, allowed Lawrence to drive the victim’s vehicle, a 2016 Ford Focus, on Nov. 30, with a promise to return it that day. However, Lawrence had not returned the vehicle at the agreed upon time and the vehicle had not been returned as of Dec. 6, even after Lawrence was advised to do so. Based upon the evidence gathered in the investigation, the deputy obtained an arrest warrant against Lawrence on the Breach of Trust charge. Lawrence was released from the Oconee County Detention Center this past Saturday on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond.
