<b>Police Arrest Student For Embezzlement</b>
A student employee at UNC Student Stores was arrested last week for embezzling $2,985 from the register of the textbook section of the store.
William Patrick Bone III, a senior biology major from Elm City, was arrested Thursday and charged with embezzlement, police reports state.
He was released on a written promise to appear in court.
"Student Stores called us and reported that they were having money embezzled," said Lt. Archie Daniel, the UNC police officer who handled the case.
Daniel said that books were being scanned at the book buy-back section and that money was being reported as paid to people with bogus identification numbers. He said an employee was pocketing the money.
John Jones, director of Student Stores, said management discovered traces of embezzlement through an audit. "In general, we routinely audit the paperwork associated with employees," Jones said. "We determined through auditing that there was something we should investigate."
Bone refused to comment about the case Monday.
