EMPLOYEE ACCUSED OF TAKING $35,000 FROM LOCAL
BP STATION
On 18 Feb 08 the district manager for the chain of local BP
gas stations reported to the Sheriff’s Office he discovered
a number of irregularities while conducting an audit of the
receipts of Hartley’s BP station in Beverly. The audit
revealed a store employee, by voiding merchandise already sold
and keeping the proceeds, was able to steal in excess of $35,000
from the store.
Detectives Hiatt and Schuck identified the suspect as the
store’s manager, Johnny R. Baker, age 38, 98 Emery Lane
Little Hocking, and interviewed him on 19 Feb. When questioned,
Mr. Baker said he’s been voiding merchandise for the
past year and was stealing between $500 and $1,000 per week.
Mr. Baker further explained that he would return no money to
the business and claimed he stole the money to support his
dying ex-wife and four children. However, Detectives learned
that Mr. Baker recently purchased a laptop computer, a truck
and a motorcycle and also that he owed substantial interest
payments to local check cashing establishments.
As a result of their investigation, Detective Hiatt forwarded

jury is anticipated at the discretion of the Prosecuting Attorney.
