She stated the offense was connected with the employee receiving a payroll check and then depositing the check into multiple accounts using mobile deposit feature. The check deposit theft scheme amounted to over $3000.00. The business owner worked with Detectives to identify any other criminal activity that the employee may have been performing while working there. The owner observed several videos of the employee carrying out merchandise that did not have any records of being paid for but was unable to provide exact items or amounts.
The employee was identified as Melissa A Tabor of Butler Missouri. Melissa was arrested and brought in for questioning the next day. Melissa was placed on a 24 hour hold and charges were submitted to the Prosecutors Office. The Detectives working with the Prosecutors Office sought additional evidence in the case before charges were brought and Melissa was released without charges.
During this time the accountant made Detectives aware of Melissa's personal checks written to the business coming back as having insufficient funds.
On 12/31/18, a warrant was issued for Melissa for Felony Stealing, 2 counts of Felony passing bad checks and 2 counts of Misdemeanor passing bad checks. Melissa appear before the court with her attorney and received a signature bond with conditions with no entry to local merchants without payment and no passing bad checks.
Detectives have been made aware of other subjects in our community that may have been victims of receiving checks that were written that returned with insufficient funds.
