Authorities charged a former Office Depot employee with taking $50 worth of drinks and other items from the East Innes Street store, as well as making fraudulent returns.

Salisbury Police charged Teron Rashond McCullon, 23, of the 700 block of Lakewood Drive, with felony larceny by employee. He was issued a $500 secured bond and has since been released from the Rowan County Detention Center.

Police say store personnel noticed the register didn’t balance and discovered McCullon had made 16 refunds and pocketed about $192 from Nov. 9 to Dec. 20.

A report said he also confessed to taking four 20-ounce bottles of Sprite, five 20-ounce bottles of Dr. Pepper, three Snickers bars and two cell phone cable cords, valued at $50.10.

He is expected in court Thursday.
