PANAMA CITY — A woman who allegedly ditched a large catering and limo service bill has been brought to Bay County for a grand theft charge, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office news release.
Adonijah Niles, 20, spent time in Bay County in September of 2014 with a group of individuals claiming to be “The Black Billionaires,” a group of musicians and rap artists. They hired catering services and were driven to local clubs and motels by a local limousine company. After charging nearly $3,500 in catering services and $8,000 in limo services, the group left Bay County for Escambia County, BCSO said.
Niles was later arrested in Escambia County for not paying her tab at a motel. After being released by Escambia County on Wednesday, she was transported to the Bay County Jail and was served a warrant by the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, officials reported.
Niles was booked into the Bay County Jail on two charges of grand theft.
Officials found additional outstanding warrants from other agencies for Niles. BCSO expects additional charges.
Walker Washington, aka Shamel Shakeem, 48, was arrested on a federal warrant alongside Niles. He also was identified as a member of The Black Billionaires.
