In early July, according to Lt. Matthew Tarleton of the Merrimack Police Department, police opened an investigation into a possible theft incident at Sketchers at the Merrimack Premium Outlets mall.

“Upon speaking with store and loss prevention employees, it was alleged that Flood, an assistant store manager, had made a number of false/fraudulent credit card returns using his personal debit card and keeping said funds,” according to Tarleton. “After further investigation, a warrant was drafted for Flood’s arrest.”

Flood was arrested about two months later and released on personal recognizance bail. He’s due in court on Sept. 29.
