Salvation Army Volunteer Steals Donation Bucket
posted 3:56 pm Wed December 26, 2007 - ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, Md.
Anne Arundel County police are searching for a Salvation Army volunteer who stole the charity's donation bucket after being reprimanded. He was a bell ringer at a Wal-Mart near Annapolis Junction when someone wanted to make change for a donation. He called his supervisor to get permission but couldn't reach her so he went ahead and used his own money to break a $5 bill.
Later that day, Wanda Browning says she called the volunteer back to say that violated their policy. She told police he became angry and hung up the phone.
Police say he left with the bucket last Thursday and hasn't been found. Browning told police the bucket contained between $300 and $500.
He also allegedly kept the Salvation Army bell and apron.
