Detective Travis Pittman, a financial crimes investigator with the Tanipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, has taken Charish Granier Watson into custody for allegedly stealing $21,00 in lottery tickets.
Ms. Watson, 41, apparently stole these tickets from her employer, a local convenience store in Hammond. The theft was uncovered after a review of financial reports, video surveillance and scheduling records. She confessed to the theft to her employer of the last four months, but said she had only cashed out approximately $3,000 in winnings.
