Summary:
On 11/4/05 RLPM Colon interviewed [REDACTED] who admitted to merchandise theft totaling $209.00. Information was reviewed with Ronnie Lomax, DM and Veronica Montanez, SM and Hall resigned immediately at the conclusion of the interview.
Case Narrative:
This investigation was initiated on 10/24/05 upon receipt of a call from Stacey Taylor, Co Manager who stated that an incident occurred on Friday October 21st 2005.
Involving [REDACTED], CSL. [REDACTED] came to work at 1:30pm on 10/21/05, dressed in her work attire carrying her purse and a Journey's plastic bag; containing what looked like a box of shoes. [REDACTED] then stated that she was going in the mall to return a pair of shoes and she would return for her scheduled shift at 2pm.
At approximately 2:45 pm, [REDACTED] was at the store, speaking on the phone and she was wearing a new pair of shoes. She sounded frustrated so when she finished with her call, she continued to explain that she had called Journey's customer service line because during her visit to the shoe store two men working there had "harassed" her and had made indirect comments stating that "stealing was bad" and that their service towards her was very poor.
According to her, after finishing the return, one of the men followed her after leaving the store as she made her way back to work. At approximately 3:10pm a man came to the front of the store and called out [REDACTED] name. The man never came in the store, but stood directly in front without ever crossing the carpeted area. They talked for few minutes and he showed her a piece of paper that looked like a receipt. A few moments later she walked back startled, saying that the man who had came in the store was the manager at Journey's, and that he had accused her of stealing the shoes she had returned, claiming that the shoes belonged to someone else. Soon after she came back on the sales floor and a woman in her mid to late 20's came in and requested to speak to [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] went in the front of the store and spoke to the woman, who then became rather upset. [REDACTED] stated that the woman who claims she stole her shoes was at the store and the lady was screaming at [REDACTED]. The woman began to explain to Stacey Taylor that a week ago she lost a pair of shoes in the mall (Doc Marten shoes for men size 11 1/2) and that she had called the stores she visited that day, including VSS, and was told that no one had found them. She accused [REDACTED] of stealing the shoes and returning them for something suitable for herself, with the original receipt.
