Embezzlement Probe Suspect Apprehended in Cache
Frank Sales, 21, of Cache, was arrested Monday at Gibson's Discount Center after a nearly three month warrant for embezzling over 400 dollars while working as an undercover narcotics agent. Sheriff’s deputy Kenneth Stradley notified narcotics investigator Nick Alderson, who made the arrest shortly after 6 p.m. Sales had aided earlier in narcotics probes and claimed he faced threats. He cited a sharp rise in his electricity bill from May 15 to Aug 15 this year, with a 30 percent increase over last year and a drop to 28.88 dollars in the same period, a discrepancy the article notes amid rate changes and summer-winter differentials.
