Managers of a Lawrenceburg restaurant filed a complaint with Lawrenceburg Police officers during the weekend after discovering that an employee had stolen nearly $200 in cash.

The complaint was filed by a manager at Taco Bell, 1135 North Locust Avenue. She alleged that a nineteen year old employee had stolen $190 from the manager’s office on June 8th. Store officials were able to provide officers with a video of the crime.

When officers questioned the young woman, she informed them that she had taken the money “to buy her baby diapers.”
