Ex-Home Depot Gift-Card Worker Sentenced to 3 Years for $4M Theft

A federal judge on Feb. 26, 2026 sentenced Felecia Ingram, 53, to three years and one month in prison after prosecutors said she stole more than $4 million in Home Depot gift cards. Federal prosecutors in Atlanta handled the case against Ingram, a former Home Depot gift-card sales associate from Covington, Georgia.

Prosecutors presented the total loss at more than $4 million in Home Depot gift cards, and the court imposed a 37-month custodial sentence for the theft. Ingram’s role at Home Depot was described in court records as a gift-card sales associate, and her hometown was listed as Covington, Georgia.

The sentencing on Feb. 26, 2026 was carried out in federal court after the Atlanta-based prosecution secured the disposition that led to the prison term. Federal prosecutors in Atlanta led the case through the indictment and sentencing phases, citing the scope of the loss in seeking a term of imprisonment.

Ingram’s 37-month sentence places the case among significant federal prosecutions of retail fraud involving stored-value products. The conviction carries criminal penalties tied to the alleged diversion of more than $4 million in Home Depot gift cards and was resolved under the supervision of federal prosecutors in Atlanta on Feb. 26, 2026.

Home Depot employees who work directly with gift cards or store financials will see this case as an example of federal enforcement; the case record lists Ingram as a former gift-card sales associate and identifies Covington, Georgia as her residence. The sentence imposed by the federal judge on Feb. 26, 2026 concluded the matter in federal court and assigned a three-year and one-month prison term for the theft of more than $4 million in Home Depot gift cards.
