Navarre housemates charged with swindling stolen property

Four Navarre residents were arrested last week on charges of grand theft, dealing in stolen goods and fraud.

Kristen Renee McDaniel, 21; Jaclyn Marie Flanakin, 25; Keith Richard Galante, 38; and Edward Melville Turner, Jr., 35, are accused of swindling goods from one Wal-Mart to another in an effort to bilk money from the retailer, who operates two Super-Center stores in the area, one in Navarre and one in Gulf Breeze.

In addition, Flanakin also stands accused of possessing a controlled substance without a prescription for pills found in her purse at the time deputies initiated a search of her property.
