of some $11,000 from a Community
Bank & Trust branch in LaGrange,

lives on East Boyd Road "in

nection "with six incidents (of theft)
that occurred over a 17 month peri-
od," said Matt McGraw, an investi-
gator with the LaGrange Police
Department.
A bank vice president at the 201
Main Street branch refused to com-
ment on the case or the charges and
referred questions about the inci-
dent to the bank's attorney, Danny
Daniels, in LaGrange.

bank.
She vas fired on Friday for rea-
sons not connected to the alleged
thefts, McGraw said.

tions in her role as teller at a drive-
through window, then void the trans-
actions and keep the cash.
There were also a number of
cashier's checks that the bank found
were issued on the same day that
money was missing from the
ledgers, McGraw said.
He is still
in which some $11,229 is
missing.
Thompson turned
authorities on Friday and
released on a $22,600 bond, a
