Bradford deputies arrested a former worker for a Starke convenience store after the ex-employer said she stole cash from the store’s safe and skimmed money from a bank deposit.
Talissa Sharay Davis, 31, of Starke, was arrested on April 19 for burglary and larceny. She pleaded not guilty to the charges.
According to a sworn complaint dated July 10, 2023, the store manager told deputies Davis resigned as a clerk on July 2. On that same day, her deposit from store sales was $220 short.
According to the report, on July 9, a store surveillance video shows a person identified as Davis entering the store at 11:30 p.m., shortly after the business closed. The intruder attempted to disarm the store’s alarm. However, Davis’s access code had been deactivated when she quit. Starke Police Sgt. Frank Krol wrote that the ex-worker had refused to turn in her key to the business.
Krol reported that Davis is seen on the video taking a bank bag from under the cash register, removing $230.82, and placing the bag into the safe before leaving.
