  (Stillwater, Okla.) — A 29-year-old Cushing man has been ordered to appear in court on Oct. 19 for arraignment on a felony charge alleging he embezzled $2,831.23 from the Cushing Walmart while he was employed there during August and September.

    Dylan Gene Day, who was arrested at the Cushing store at 4:55 pm on Sept. 6 by Cushing Police Officer Katherine Hinkle, remains free on $5,000 bond, court records show. If convicted of embezzlement by employee, Day could be given as much as an eight-year prison term and a $10,000 fine.

    Questioned by the Cushing officer, “He admitted to being responsible for the gift cards and had been loading gift cards for about a week. He also admitted he bought an iPad and keyboard that cost $299.23,” the affidavit alleged.
