A Coralville woman has been arrested on a warrant stemming from cash register shortages discovered while she was working.
According to the criminal complaint, 26-year-old Lateenice Carter of 19th Avenue was employed at the Kum & Go on Mormon Trek Boulevard in Iowa City when corporate loss prevention noticed register shortages during her shifts. A review of closed circuit camera footage showed Carter allegedly activating prepaid Greendot cards and keeping them without paying for the card or activation fee.
Seven total transactions totaling nearly $730 were discovered between May 29th and June 5th.. Carter reportedly admitted to the theft in a written statement to Kum & Go when her employment was terminated.
A warrant for her arrest was issued on July 6th; she was taken into custody Monday and charged with 4th degree theft, a serious misdemeanor.
