FAIRFIELD, Conn. A Bridgeport man was charged with theft from his Fairfield employer Monday afternoon. Jhakim Ingram-Garden, 20, used his job at Kohls department store to give family and friends steep discounts, police say.
The stores internal investigators told police that Ingram-Garden switched tags to mark down items, which were then bought by people he knew. He performed seven transactions, costing the company a total of $572, according to police reports.
Ingram-Garden turned himself in at Fairfield Police Headquarters Monday. He was charged with fifth-degree larceny, and released on a promise to appear in court on April 16.
