SAN ANTONIO – A Kay Jewelers employee has landed in hot water after police said some of his transactions weren't quite adding up.
Arrest documents for 44-year-old Bruce Runyan revealed some of his processed refunds were problematic in not one, but two states.
Police said Runyan admitted to fictitious refunds in Albuquerque, N.M., as well as San Antonio. An arrest document showed he worked at a Kay's location in New Mexico before transferring to the Alamo City.
According to Runyan, he needed the extra cash to pay for his wife's medical bills. Police did not comment on the woman's medical condition.
Officers said the jewelry employee also lifted a $3,500 diamond from the shank of a Neil Lane ring. He reportedly sent the ring without the diamond to the company's corporate headquarters. SAPD said during the investigation he returned the diamond.
Runyan was arrested on a charge of theft. He is out of jail on bond.
