A former employee of a College Station shoe store is accused of stealing almost $1,500 dollars of merchandise.
21 year old Erica Smoot of Bryan was arrested over the weekend and is out on bond.
Smoot is accused of taking 20 pairs of shoes from the store called The Shoe Department, driving to a sister store in Houston and collecting full refunds. Court records also state she also took money meant to be deposited and cash out of the register.
Store officials told police they believe the loss is closer to $7,000 dollars, but Smoot was arrested on a lesser theft charge.
