Ruston Police arrested a Ruston man Wednesday after he allegedly stolen $1,200 worth of money orders from the store where he worked.
Sean M. Augman, 24, was arrested at his residence after an investigation of the theft at the USA Travel Plaza on West Alabama Avenue.
The manager told police she found her morning audit on May 21 showed a shortage of $1,200. She examined surveillance video and saw Augman printing out four $300 money orders while working his shift.
Police were unable to contact Augman on May 21 but located him on May 22 at his residence and arrested him for illegal transmission of monetary funds. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center. His bail amount was not available at publication time.
