The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office has arrested a woman they say was stealing customer's tax information. Deputies say Erica Mae Malston worked at H&R Block in Pace, Florida. Deputies say she would take customer's information and use it to get a prepaid Mastercard called the "Emerald Card". When she got the card, investigators say she would activate it and use it. Customer's wouldn't find out until they either got a bill or tried to file their taxes. Deputies are investigating two cases of the theft, but believe there are more victims.
