Store employee arrested for gift card thefts www.privateofficer.com


MOULTRIE — A Moultrie woman was apprehended Wednesday evening after she allegedly activated Wal-Mart gift cards for herself and used them last week.

Kim Leann Spradley, 25, of 114 Ninth Ave. N.W., was charged with three counts of theft by taking. The alleged incidents took place on Nov. 20 and Nov. 21.
An officer was called to Wal-Mart on South Veterans Parkway about 4:55 p.m. Wednesday on an unrelated call when a member of store security made contact with him. The officer was needed because the store was about to charge Spradley, one of its employees, with the theft of the gift cards.
The store accused Spradley of fraudulently activating a $150 gift card Nov. 20 and two more gift cards Nov. 21. Once the cards were activated, Spradley allegedly used them to make purchases at the store using the cards. The value of the fraudulent gift cards was $370.
The officer was given evidence, including video of the alleged card activations and receipts. Spradley was then placed under arrest and taken to Colquitt County Jail.
