The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of a Stanley woman following an investigation at a local retail store.

On Thursday, deputies arrested Riley Sampson, 19, after it was alleged that while working in her capacity as a cashier at the Lowe’s store in the Town of Hopewell, Sampson stole $520 from the business over the course of four different dates.

Sampson was charged with Petit Larceny and issued an appearance ticket. She is scheduled to return to the Hopewell Town Court at a later date to answer the charge.

The charges are accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. Police reports are automatically removed from this site after 90 days.
