A man from Raeford has been accused of embezzling from his employer in Aberdeen.
Twenty-nine-year-old Bobby Jefferson was arrested on charges of five counts of felony embezzlement, four counts of felony larceny by an employee, and possession of Schedule VI.
Aberdeen Police Chief Brian Chavis said his department was called Oct. 29 to a business at U.S. 1 and Saunders Blvd. regarding larceny by an employee and embezzlement. According to arrest records, Jefferson worked at Circle K convenience store and gas station.Â
