The former Chico’s Off the Rack employee accused of stealing customer’s receipts and using them to get $1,200 in refunds has been arrested.
Alicia Sullivan, 39, of Chehalis, is accused of falsifying customer returns in at least 16 separate instances between January and July of this year in order to get money from the refund, according to court documents.
She was charged with theft and identity theft in Lewis County Superior Court in August and was summoned to a Sept. 13 preliminary hearing, which she was not present for, prompting a judge to issue a $20,000 warrant for her arrest.
Sullivan reportedly surrendered herself to the jail over the weekend and posted the $20,000 bail prior to her preliminary appearance hearing on Monday.
Sullivan’s defense attorney, Rachael Tiller, informed the court Monday that the initial summons notice was sent to an incorrect address.
A judge allowed Sullivan to remain out of custody on the already-posted bail.
Her next court appearance is an arraignment hearing scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 22.
