OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former manager of a fast-food restaurant has been accused of lying about a robbery.
34-year-old Katie Spore was charged Monday with felony theft by deception of more than $1,500. Court records do not list an attorney.
Authorities say Spore, a former manager at Pita Pit, claimed she was robbed by a man while she carried a deposit bag from the store on Dec. 1. Spore is accused of telling police the man took the deposit bag, her engagement and wedding rings, a necklace and a wallet.
Authorities say Spore wrote herself a check from the restaurant’s account for $3,600 before the alleged robbery. She is accused of cashing it to pay for personal expenses.
Spore’s bail was set at $40,000 on Monday.
