FDLE arrests Pace woman for money laundering crimes

 
For Immediate Release
March 11, 2025
 
PACE, Fla. – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement announces the arrest of Rasha Lashonda Hill, 32, of Pace. Hill is charged with felony money laundering and structuring, violations of the Florida Money Laundering Act.
 
The investigation began in May of 2024, after FDLE received information that indicated Hill was involved in a money laundering scheme. Hill is the registered agent for the Glamour Palace and More LLC and for the Blessed Our Children Learning Academy LLC in Pensacola.
 
During the investigation agents reviewed financial records and conducted surveillance at Hill’s two registered businesses. The properties were not well maintained, and agents observed limited activity which is inconsistent with a fully operational business.
 
The investigation revealed that Hill made numerous large cash withdrawals from various branches of a local credit union. Between July 3, 2023 and June 4, 2024, Hill initiated transfers to private accounts, completed wire transfers and made cash withdrawals totaling over $340,000. Most of her transactions were completed in a manner designed to evade currency transaction reporting requirements.
 
Hill was arrested on March 5, 2025, and booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail. The case is being investigated by the FDLE Pensacola office, and the investigation remains active.
