Lofton is a former Rainbow Shops employee who reportedly sold items to her friends at a much lower price, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

The unsanctioned discounts totaled approximately $27,000 and happened between June 1, 2020, and Jan. 25, 2021, according to the indictment.
