Georgia 'Lunch Lady' Accused Of Stealing More Than $1 Million From School Lunch Line
According to ABC News, Brenda Watts is accused of stealing roughly $500 a day from North Spring High School in Fulton County. In the cafeteria there were four lines with cash registers that were tracked, but the blue cart serving a-la-carte items manned by Watts was cash-only with no cash register, WSB-TV reports.
From Death and Taxes:
A whistleblower who brought down her operation, says that Watts has had the scam going for 15-20 years, or approximately $1.35 million total.
Watts was arrested at her 5,400 square foot, four-bedroom home. She retired after 26 years at the school the day after WBS-TV ran their segment on her.
Running the numbers further from the $500 per day that police believe was stolen, that adds up to $90,000 over the course of a school year. If the scam was going for 15 years, that brought in approximately $1.35 million, while 20 would net $1.8 million.
"Beyond taking appropriate personnel actions, when a potential crime occurs, we will investigate and work with law enforcement to prosecute to the full extent of the law," Deputy Fulton County School Superintendent Patrick Burke told WSB-TV in a statement.
