Woman arrested in Tarrant County for stealing over $1 million from employer to buy TikTok coins

A North Texas woman who admitted she stole over a million dollars from her former employer is sentenced to 70 years in prison.

The Tarrant County District Attorney's office says Staci Blackmon had been stealing from the company she worked for starting in 2020.
Southlake police arrested her in 2022.

The DA says she used most of the money she stole to buy "TikTok" coins - basically virtual money. Blackmon also used some of the money on a Mavs Suite, bought furniture and took some fancy trips.

She pled guilty to two cases of theft over $300,000 and has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for each one.
