Unfortunately for places of business, theft is a common occurrence. Sometimes the theft is via an outside source while other times, the business is affected by an employee. <\/p>\n
Most business owners vet their workers and feel secure in allowing the individuals to handle their money. <\/p>\n
In most cases, this is how it goes, but other times employees decide to steal. Take a recent incident in Iowa<\/a>. A firework stand employee decided to take the bulk of a night\u2019s earnings and spend it at a local casino, instead of leaving for his employer to claim. <\/p>\n Charles Lee Myers Jr.<\/strong>, age 41, is from Moline, Illinois. He was working at a firework stand in Iowa that raked in a pretty penny over the holiday. Working at Jake\u2019s Fireworks in Davenport, Myers Jr. decided after one night of work that he would take the earnings and visit the Bally\u2019s Quad Cities Casino and Hotel<\/a> located in Rock Island. <\/p>\n It is unclear if the employee thought he could win some cash and then turn back in what he stole or if he was just stealing to gamble in general. After getting caught, Myers Jr. admitted that he took the money and spent it at the casino. <\/p>\nDetails of the Robbery<\/h2>\n
