we all strive for that big promotion a sign of trust and loyalty a reward for hard work but at one target store a newly promoted manager took a different approach to his new role instead of upholding the company values he decided to help himself to the cash in multiple registers he was entrusted to manage what led him down this path and how did it all unfold here's what happened next I why do an audio record it's charging I use it too much it's not true problems office kind of briefly inform me of what was going on today in order for me to talk to you I need to read you your rights have you ever been arrested before sir all right sir sir so you have the right to remain silent do you understand that M anything you say can be used against you in court do you understand that yes sir you have the right to have an attorney present now or at any time during questioning do you understand that yes sir if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for you without cost do you understand that if you talk to me you have the right to stop answering questions or speak to an attorney at any time do you understand that yes sir all right with your uh rights in mind to talk to me today yeah that's fine okay so I was notified by Target that apparently over the course of your employment there's a lot of cash registers that were turned up short and that they have video surveillance of you uh folding money in your hand and instead of putting it into money counter you slip it into your pocket yeah is that accurate yes sir okay is there a reason why this was happening are you it was just like Financial hardships um and then it into a bad habit that should have subsided long long ago or never even started but yeah that's all stem from okay do you happen to have a drug problem because we do have like drug core we have programs to get people help better addicted to drugs nothing addictive okay nothing just like that just needed to get out of a hole and then it stuck with a bad habit really okay um do you roughly know about how much it's been going on for the past you know almost a year or 6 months um I I believe it was 6 months since I started that's when I bought my house that's when I needed to um finalize some things that okay yeah okay you got how much money roughly they're they're estimating 10,000 10,000 yeah okay do you think it might be a little bit more than that cuz I know it's about 10,000 only in the last two months two months yeah the last two last uh 30 to maybe 90 30 I would say 30 to 60 days is about just over nine grand well yeah not that I'm aware of like I told them I I when I received it I I spend it on on like materials and stuff because I'm remodeling my house so okay nothing that I'm aware of okay understandable you married sir any kids just engaged got kids yeah okay how many kids do you have um technically two okay mhm biological or no okay all right um you have anything You' like to add no if he what I would do is the whole statement form if he wants to well they have a an admission form here can I see that is this uh your form sir that you uh you signed out if you can read it sorry [Music] okay and this is your signature here on the statement okay okay I get a copy of with that one all right sir well today you you are going to be placed under arrest okay you'll be able to BU out of the jail and then from there it's with your attorney speaking with the state's attorney and Target on working out some type of agreement in order for paying back and you can go and see what the charges are going to be true okay they could reduce the charges they can drop the charges as long as most likely the money is paid back to Target and Target agrees to accept the money before it goes to trial then they can always drop the case with the State's Attorney's Office okay okay so that's something you can definitely work out mhm all right do you have any questions for me no sir no do you have any questions for Target no not that okay so you are you do understand you are um fired from the store yep okay is he trespassed from the store yes okay and you are being trespassed from the store as well okay means you cannot come back to the store property unless you actually speak with somebody from the store and then they lift it but in order for them to lift it they have to contact us because it's going to be documented that you are trespassed okay so from just this location or every location this location yeah so if you'd like to come back to this target then you make sure you get in touch with management and management has to call us to cancel the trespass okay that's fine can you look at me real quick I need a picture for the trespass all right stand up for me do you have well before you do you have anything in your pocket you like to take out do you have I just got keys and a phone and a wallet Key phone wall okay we can take it out no uh no knives or anything nothing harmful take off this watch

overweight is part no no we do a lot of scenarios with tasers and trust me I'm pretty accurate so I doubt that you would have run away from from me at least I don't know about him did you guys get T I'm fairly fast I'm fairly fast things so we know how it feels like we don't want to tell somebody else yeah but if we got you we got you not that bad all right we'll try on you later you guys anything from me NOP we're good I'm going to thank you all I take this opportunity to let people know that we make decisions in life that are not great we learn from them and that's the important thing and I hope that regardless of what happens that you learn from this today and what you done and the the consequences that come with doing good yeah this one's going to [ __ ] me up though I want I was going in the fire service so I work out you got to figure it out maybe you can work it out with I hope so but that's what job that I wanted to do then like this yeah bro but regardless if it works out if it doesn't work out you'll have the story to tell and got to make better decisions than you already made what's in this Pock and probably some airpods I'm trying it man keys and airpods you said yeah do membership I don't go to yeah we all have those they might not be 30 where are you at yeah there they're just not want to come out there either I don't want to go drop them all over the place thanks right there nothing up here right no pockets good yeah give me just a second go ahead and take a seat thank you hey Cameron you've been so honest with us is there any money in your wallet that belongs to Target uh just the big bills I think okay one second just one second 37 it's warm in here man I don't like being cold for I don't like being really hot or really cold so I can turn if it's too hot just let me know you're honest with us hold on is the backpack good to go in no I haven't checked that this is everything that doesn't need to be searched wallet and that doesn't need to get searched you got an extra pair of gloves I'll stand right here while you get me some of course I have gloves I need to go back to the FD and get some more I keep on meaning to grab the bag black but you don't like the FD ones no I know you like how they go all the way up your elbow but I like the black ones they look better at they also don't show blood very well so I told Cam that he's been so honest with us right and that I was going to search his wallet I asked him was there any money in here that belonged to Target he said just the big bills okay so if you want to continue with that line I can pull out whatever feel free to yeah 50s when is this from this money I don't know it's it's is this from it's not from today it's from previous days okay so how much money is supposed to be in here I don't I don't have is it safe to say that most of this money is from Target or changed from 5 $100 bills hold that so six 7even eight nine I'm just separating by [Music] th000 [Applause] 29 okay what what are you thinking with this uh I mean he he admitted that most of his money is either change or money from so unfortunately I have to do a ccy to get it back to them no cuz if it's going to go into property at the sheriff's office then it needs a currency form and that has to be signed off by a sergeant yeah literal literal the suspect was charged with felony grand theft and received 5 years of probation 100 hours of community service and a $10,000 bill in restitution fees looks like he'll be spending more time picking up trash than picking up cash anyways drop a
