Three arrested for stealing $5K from store

A Gainesville Wal-Mart Supercenter employee and two other people were arrested Wednesday after being accused of stealing almost $5,000 from the store.

Niki Sessions, 34, Erica Harden, 31, and Karim Livingston, 32, have been charged with grand theft and scheme to defraud and obtain property.

According to the Gainesville Police Department arrest report, since Jan. 31, Harden and Livingston bought items at the cash register Sessions worked at and paid in cash.

Sessions would give them hundreds of dollars in change, more than was due to them, and caused the cash register's total amount of money to come up short, the report stated.

This happened 11 times with the amount of money taken totaling $4,959.44.

When arrested, Sessions said he gave Harden and Livingston money because he was mad at Wal-Mart and trying to retaliate because the store hadn't given him a bonus.
