A Big Springs woman, who formerly lived in North Platte, has been charged with a felony after she allegedly stole from her employer.

On January 23, at around 11:15 a.m., an officer from the North Platte Police Department responded to Inland Truck Parts, 3820 South Newberry Road, on the report of an employee theft.

Management alleged that former employee, Ronda Buntain, failed to deposit around $4,800.00, in November of last year.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, a subsequent audit, conducted by Inland Truck Parts, revealed multiple discrepancies beginning in May of last year to present.

The company reported what they believe to be another $6,200.00, which was stolen during that time.

Following further investigation, officers determined that there was probable cause to arrest Buntain, and charge her with felony theft.

On February 18, an NPPD investigator met with Buntain at the Lincoln County Detention Center and placed her under arrest.

Brown said Buntain was booked into jail and posted bond.
