Walmart cashier accused of stealing more than $14K from Memphis store
MEMPHIS, Tenn. June 4 2019 – A Memphis woman is accused of stealing more than $14,000 from her employer and using the money to buy a car, pay bills, and buy items for her children.
Cassandra Carter, 23, is charged with Theft of Property between $10,000 and $60,000, according to Shelby County jail records. She was booked on May 29 and was released a day later.
Police documents state Carter worked at a Walmart store in Memphis. A loss prevention officer allegedly became suspicious because the cash register where she worked kept “showing a red line” – meaning there were insufficient funds for the amount of transactions being done – on the days she worked.
The loss prevention officer looked at video and documented Carter taking money in a variety of different ways. He claimed she would take cash from the register and put it in a Walmart bag, pretend she was putting something in the trash and stash money, or ball up the money and stick it in her pocket, according to an arrest affidavit.
