A local woman has been accused of stealing from Walmart.

Geneva Hudson, 19, 2430 Muscatine Ave. No. 29, was charged July 5 with second-degree theft.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Walmart managers contacted Iowa City police officials about an employee who allegedly had been stealing from the cash register.

Walmart investigations showed small amounts of money unaccounted for during a three-week period in Hudson’s register, and on at least 13 occasions, a total of $1,117 was missing, the complaint said.

During an interview with Walmart managers, Hudson allegedly admitted to taking some of the money, and reportedly, her activities were caught on surveillance and daily checks of the cash register.

Second-degree theft is a Class-D felony.
