Dollar Store employee arrested for theft of $14,154.16

 CORRECTION: In the print edition the suspected theft, which was reported to have occurred in Sebree, should have been reported at the Dixon Dollar Store.

An employee of the Dollar General Store in Dixon was arrested last week after Dollar General Corporation Loss Prevention discovered that $14,154.16 in cash had gone missing from the store between May 1, 2015 and July 4, 2015.


According to the Sheriff’s department’s report, when Scott Spencer with the Dollar Store Corporation’s Loss Prevention confronted Angela Kay Poe, 36 of Sebree, Spencer reported that she issued a written statement confessing to the theft.

Poe was arrested and charged with Theft by Unlawful Taking or Disposition - $10,000 or more but less than $1,000,000. That charge is a class C felony.
