On Friday ------, 19-- I received a phone call from David Jones saying he was in Tenn. and wouldn’t be in to work the next day. Tried to get someone to cover his schedule and couldn’t. Went on about my business. Started paperwork as usual. Check everyone out in their areas. Everything was fine. Finished paperwork. Helped Dan Harley dump trash, back in locked the back door, and pushed button in on door. Mopped floor behind us, so it wouldn’t be streaky. Came up to office, got my stuff together, straightened up. Set the alarm, closed office door and Dan and myself left. We punched out at 24:22 that night. When we got outside, Dan’s ride was here, he got in the car and left. Pulled off parking lot about 12:30. Everything was organized and locked up when we left. Came back in about 5:45 am. Everything looked normal. Sandy Jones, Lane Taylor and my wife. We all walked in together. When we got to the door, to go in the back we looked on the hot cook table and there was some glass and a knife. I told the 3 employees not to do anything. I opened the office door and there was the $300 drawer, $950 bag and the deposit bag cut open. Everything was gone. I told the 3 employees to go sit in the dining room and called 911. I told them who I was and what happened. The only thing I touched was the phone. It took approximately 15 min. for the police to arrive. This all took place between 5:45 am and 6:00 am.
