The employee, whose name is being withheld due to eligibility for youthful offender status, was transported to Yorktown Police Headquarters. He was charged with petit larceny, a class A misdemeanor, and released on his own recognizance.

The defendant is scheduled to appear in Yorktown Justice Court on Tuesday, April 23.
