Walmart Cashier Busted For Embezzlement In Stafford: Police

STAFFORD, VA—A Walmart cashier was arrested last month for letting her boyfriend repeatedly pass through her checkout line without paying for merchandise from the store at 11 Village Parkway, according to the Stafford County Sheriff's Office.

Jennifer Renee Satterwhite, 38, of King George, was charged with three counts of embezzlement and two counts of conspiracy. The boyfriend, Dougie Ray Gillis, 36, of King George, was charged with one count of petit larcency, two counts of conspiracy and two counts of grand larceny.

Police began an investigation on March 1 after being alerted to findings by a loss prevention employee. That person said on Feb. 22, he saw a customer with a cart full of groceries approach the register in the garden section of the store and noticed the cashier didn't ring up most of the items. When he later pulled up the transaction, he found that most of the items hadn't been scanned.

So he began looking into previous transactions involving the cashier by reviewing security video footage. He found a transaction from Feb. 1 and another on Feb. 3 in which the cashier let the same customer leave the store without paying for all the items.

In all, the value of the stolen items came to $683.67. Statterwhite ultimately admitted letting her boyfriend go through her line without paying for merchandise. He was arrested March 10, and she was arrested March 20.
