and 27. On May 13 the morning count of the money was made and shortly after Scott went into the vault. After she left the money was checked and $3 was found to be missing. Scott was asked by principal Raye Tupper to come to the office. Tupper had called the sheriff’s office and Capt. Chris Williams met Scott in the office. He confronted her with the evidence. She had the money on her person when she came to the office and it matched the serial numbers of the photocopies. She said at first that she had borrowed $3 and put $3 in change into the box. When confronted with the fact that she hadn’t she said she had only intended to borrow the money for lunch and was coming to the office to return it when Tupper stopped her in the hall. Scott was arrested and charged with petit larceny. Office personnel from RCES and Tupper testified in the case.
Scott was the only person to request the key on March 18 and on March 27 only one other teacher requested the key besides Scott.
Luke told the jury that a pattern of the theft of a small amount of money had been established and that on two of the dates in question, March 18 and 27, Scott had no reason to be in the vault — there was no money in her teacher’s file during those weeks.
Scott told the jury that she was only guilty of making a “stupid mistake’’ which cost her everything. The jury found her guilty of the May 13 theft, set a $500 fine, counseling and 60 days community service. After dismissing the jury, Judge Shore Robertson said the jury could not order counseling and community service in the case and set sentencing for Dec. 3.
