Kai Marie Blake was issued a $100,000 arrest warrant after she failed to appear for her trial Wednesday.
Blake is accused of stealing over a $1,000 from her previous employer Big D. Exxon. Blake plead not guilty to this charge of felony theft. Blake’s manager notified Laramie police that a theft may have occurred. Blake was then arrested following a police investigation that began Dec. 30, 2014, according to court documents.
“I learned from the manager that employee Blake, would take unregistered prepaid visa or other businesses card and use the business’ computer system to scan and activate the visa card or other merchant card without paying for the funds loaded onto the card,” Justin Johnson, Laramie police, said, according to court documents.
The manager told police that Blake did not have permission to be placing money onto these cards without paying for them, according to court documents.
In all, Blake made a total of 47 transactions valued in excess of $1,000, according to court documents.
Blake admitted to authorizing multiple cards, but said she had her manager’s approval and that she saved all the receipts so she would know how much money to repay, according to court documents.
It was discovered that Blake made 15 additional transactions that she did not save the receipts for, according to court documents.
If Blake is found guilty she could face up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
