SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On 040706 Deputy Kachajian was dispatched to 333
Swanton Road, Diamond Jim’s Restaurant in St. Albans
Town for a report of a fraud perpetrated by an employee.
Upon arrival on scene, Deputy Kachajian met with the
manager of the restaurant who stated to him that an
employee by the name of Christina Holmes had stolen
money from her cash out account on 040506. The
manager went on to state that Ms. Holmes attempted to
make it appear as though a large table of customers had
paid with their credit card when in fact they had paid cash
for the food tab. During an audit, the manager located the
discrepancy and later confronted Ms. Holmes about it. The
suspect denied having any knowledge about the incident.
The manager made arrangements with Ms. Holmes to
speak with her about it on her next scheduled work day on
040606, but she never came to work and she never
contacted them by telephone. Ms. Holmes, upon further
investigation, was located at her residence in St. Albans
Town at which time she was cited to appear in court at a
later date to answer to the charge of embezzlement. Ms.
Holmes’ employment has since been terminated with her
previous employer.
