The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said that it received reports of the thefts on July 29, involving incidents at three different store locations beginning in March. Due to Albright being a city employee, it was investigated by the Integrity Unit.
According to the police report, video evidence and receipts showed Albright intentionally failing to properly scan items at the self-checkout registers each time, including while on duty and uniformed.
Albright is believed to have stolen more than 100 items during the thefts.
