A Homer resident has been arrested after allegedly stealing from her employer, the Wal-Mart Super Center on Homer Road, Minden.
Cassie Heard, 26, of the 100 block of Circle Drive, Homer, was arrested Monday and charged with felony theft.
Minden Police Chief T.C. Bloxom said the Wal-Mart Loss Prevention team contacted his department regarding an employee who had been stealing from the store.
According to a report filed by the in-store security team, between May 17 and December 24, 2009, Heard failed to scan all items presented by her friends at the cash register.
“Loss Prevention had been documenting the thefts with photos since May 17, 2009,” said Bloxom.
Wal-Mart’s Loss Prevention filed a report with Det. Heath Balkom, who in turn obtained a warrant for Heard’s arrest.
“She turned herself in today after she was advised that a warrant had been issued for her arrest,” said Bloxom.
Heard reportedly confessed to the theft following her arrest.
“Heard said she believed the total amount of the merchandise that was stolen came to a little more than $500,” said Bloxom. “Wal-Mart says Heard stole $1,123 worth of merchandise, which she denies.”
Heard was transported to Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center where bond has been set at $1,500.
