SMITHFIELD – An employee at a Smithfield business is accused of stealing money. Amy Lynn Ruggles of Dunn is charged with felony larceny by an employee.
Smithfield Police said Ruggles was employed at US Cellular on N. Brightleaf Boulevard when the alleged thefts occurred. Between June 1 and July 11, Ruggles reportedly took cash payments from seven customers. Instead of placing the money in the register, she kept the cash.

On July 11, Ruggles was arrested at US Cellular and transported to the Johnston County Detention Center. A magistrate set bail at $50,000.
Thou shall not steal… I guess the ten commandments mean nothing to some people
