Kara C. Rowe, 32, of 422 Miami Ave., Russells Point, was charged with theft and possession of drug abuse instruments Friday after a theft report was filed at her work place, Village Pantry, 209 Orchard Island Road, Russells Point.
Deputies responded Friday to the gas station to speak with the store manager, who reported that a customer had left his wallet at the business Jan. 26 after he paid for items at the store.
The customer, James Francis of Lewistown, returned to the store to report his wallet missing. Ms. Rowe had been the cashier for his transaction, and she claimed she had not seen his wallet. However, when Mr. Francis told her he was going to contact law enforcement, she located the wallet near a restroom.
After reviewing store video surveillance, Ms. Rowe was observed taking the wallet from a counter. Mr. Francis said $15 was missing from the wallet.
The defendant was transported to the Logan County Jail, where a syringe and another drug abuse instrument was found in her bag.
