A former Chick-fil-A employee in Texas was arrested after authorities accused him of stealing more than $80,000 through a fraudulent refund scheme, police said.
Keyshun Jones, who was fired from the Grapevine location last year, allegedly returned to the restaurant multiple times and entered fake food orders into the cash register before issuing refunds to his personal credit card, the Grapevine Police Department told surveillance footage that allegedly showed Jones behind the counter carrying out the transactions, despite no longer being employed at the location. Authorities did not say how he was able to access the register after his termination.
Court records show a warrant was issued for Jones’ arrest on April 6. He was taken into custody April 17, with assistance from the Texas Attorney General’s Fugitive Task Force and the Fort Worth Police Department.
Jones faces charges that include property theft, money laundering and evading arrest.
The money laundering charge typically applies when proceeds from alleged illegal activity are processed through financial transactions, while the evading arrest charge indicates authorities believe he attempted to avoid being taken into custody.
If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in state prison under Texas law.
The Grapevine Police Department and a representative for Chick-fil-A did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
