Authorities say a Fort Lauderdale man stole more than $250,000 from Tires Plus stores while working as a district manager for the company.
The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports the Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested 60-year-old Louis J. Dailey on Tuesday. He faces charges including grand theft, organized fraud and communications fraud.
The state agency says Dailey began instructing employees in 2009 to process more than $104,000 in petty cash transactions for email advertising at local Chamber of Commerce offices.
Two years later, the agency says Dailey teamed up with 28-year-old Candice N. Padron. They instructed employees to process some $150,000 by claiming transactions were for email advertising at Quantum Ad Tech.
Padron faces similar charges.
Records don't indicate whether Dailey and Padron have hired attorneys.
