(WSB Radio)  A Sprayberry High School cheerleader is facing felony armed robbery charges after she's accused of stealing a cash box from four girls ages 9 to 11, one of which was in a wheelchair.

The theft occurred last Friday when the four girls were selling fourth of July t-shirts and hats at their neighborhood pool in Cobb County.  Joe Green is the father of two of the girls who were trying to help their dad's struggling embroidery business.

Green tells WSB's Sandra Parrish he couldn't believe it when 17-year-old Chelsea Steele spoke to him face to face and then turned around and stole the box off the lap of the 9-year-old girl who was in a wheelchair.

"To think she could get away with it and with all the parents sitting there, it just blows my mind away," he says.

Green says he chased after Steele on foot who drove off with three other teen girls.  He lost them, but police arrested Steele later that night.

Besides felony robbery charges, Steele is also facing misdemeanor charges of underage drinking.

So far none of the other three teens have been charged.

Steele's attorney Mike Moran tells Parrish his client is remorseful.

"She'd like to express to the children and to their families that it was a very bad mistake on her part to have been there... to have been involved," he says.

But so far, Green says he's not buying the apology.

"I'm sure she's sorry, every criminal is sorry for what they did... nobody wants to go to jail," he says.
