CLEAFIELD – A former employee of a local pizza place will stand trial for allegedly stealing money from the business.
Laurajean Nichole Hill, 25, Mount Joy Rd., Clearfield, is charged with 75 counts each of theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property as a result of her actions from March 1 through July 1 while she worked as a waitress at Buck’s Pizza in Clearfield.
Hill waived her right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday during centralized court and is free on $10.000 unsecured bail.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, the manager noticed discrepancies in her daily deposits. After investigating, the manager discovered that when Hill was given cash from a customer, she would process the sale with an employee discount or refund.
She would then allegedly pocket the difference. When she was confronted, Hill admitted to the illegal transactions.
An audit revealed Hill had taken more than $1,540.
