Bismarck Dollar-Tree Worker Accused of Credit Card Theft

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A dollar store employee in Bismarck is accused of stealing a customer's credit card and going on a spending spree.

The Bismarck Tribune reports 32-year-old Michele Laroche faces a misdemeanor theft charge in city court and a felony theft count in state court that carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.

Authorities allege that Laroche took a credit card belonging to a customer while working at a Dollar Tree store, and put unauthorized charges on the card.

Court documents do not list an attorney for Laroche, and a home telephone listing for her was not in service Wednesday.
