A Dillard’s employee and a customer received notices to appear in court on theft charges after the customer allegedly was charged far less than the value of the items purchased Wednesday.
Between 7:20 and 7:56 p.m. Wednesday, Pamela P. Burse, 47, 672 Steahlin, purchased four pairs of blue jeans, a polo shirt, a coffee maker, a deep fryer, a twin-sized comforter and a queen-sized comforter, which had a total value of $882, said Salina Deputy Police Chief Carson Mansfield.
Store cashier Tony L. Austin, 43, 509 W. State, accepted about $65 in payment for the items, Mansfield said.
