Orange Beach, Ala. – (OBA) – Judith Ashley Roberts, also known as Tillie Pan, a local businesswoman in Orange Beach, has been arrested following allegations of significant financial fraud. According to a report by WKRG's Debbie Williams, Orange Beach Police have charged Roberts with multiple counts of fraudulent use of credit cards and theft of property.

Roberts, 55, is accused of unlawfully obtaining over $135,000 from customers through deceptive practices linked to a custom catering business she co-owns in Orange Beach. The police investigation revealed at least three individuals who have fallen victim to these fraudulent activities. In one striking instance, a customer was reportedly charged $60,000 for a purchase that should have only cost $250.
