GERING, Neb. (AP) — A 22-year-old Bayard man is accused of stealing nearly $3,900 while working at a co-op in western Nebraska.

Online court records say Nathan Wheeler is charged with theft. Jail records say he remained in custody on Thursday. His attorney, Todd Morten, declined to comment about the case.

An arrest affidavit says Wheeler took the money from June through early September last year when he worked at Panhandle Coop in Scottsbluff. The affidavit says Wheeler told a Scottsbluff officer that if a customer was paying cash, he would manually override the cash discount, enter a higher discount price per gallon and pocket the difference.

The affidavit says Wheeler admitted the thefts but disagreed about the total taken.
