An employee at an Augusta Wal-Mart was arrested Saturday night and accused of pocketing $2,220 in two weeks, the Augusta Chronicle reported.

Brianna Dicks, 22, took the money from her register, according to a Richmond County Sheriff’s Office report. She could be seen on surveillance video numerous times taking cash from her registers and placing it in her pockets, the Chronicle reported.

When store management confronted her Saturday night, she took $520 from her pocket, the sheriff’s report stated. A security camera review of her activities showed her taking $250 from a register on Nov. 23, $400 on Nov. 24, $200 on Nov. 25, $550 on Nov. 27 and $100 from three different registers on Nov. 28.

Healthcare at College Park, a nursing home in Fulton County, GA, stands shuttered with its door chained on July 26, 2025, having closed in recent months.  Researchers at Brown University developed a list of U.S. nursing homes they predicted were at risk of closing based on 2023 data, and would be at elevated risk of closing due to the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act's cuts to Medicaid. Healthcare at College Park was on their list.  It survived past its last federal inspection in August of 2024 but has now closed down. The bill's biggest provisions will roll out over years starting Jan. 1. (Ariel Hart/AJC)
