Drugs

Forgery

A Fairbanks woman is accused of stealing more than $2,000 worth of money orders from the gas station where she worked.

Saachia Ann Smith-Arnold, 21, has been charged with four counts of second-degree forgery, a class C felony.

A manager at the Holiday Gas Station at 2300 South Cushman Street called Fairbanks police Tuesday after discovering Smith-Arnold printed four money orders while working the previous day, but none of the money was accounted for.

When police contacted her, Smith-Arnold at first denied taking the money orders, but then said she could lead authorities to their location. One of money orders was found in her vehicle, and the other two were at her home, according to a criminal complaint filed in court.

Smith-Arnold told police the fourth money order had been given to someone else, but she refused to divulge his or her identity, according to the complaint.
