Police arrested on Tuesday a 58-year-old man who allegedly embezzled $1,630 from a trash collection company.
Ernesto A. Reloza was arrested for theft and theft by failure to make required disposition of funds received. A $5,000 cash bail was initially imposed for his temporary liberty.
Reloza was set to appear Wednesday afternoon for a bail hearing before Superior Court associate judge David A. Wiseman.
Detective Patrick Earl Maanao stated in his report that on Aug. 18, 2008, Nestor Tumaquip, accountant for TC Services, reported a theft case to the Department of Public Safety.
In January 2008, TC Services, a trash collections company, hired Reloza. The defendant was formerly employed with 3G Trash Services, which was closing down.
Reloza was assigned to continue collecting trash from former customers of 3G Trash Collection Services.
However, the defendant allegedly failed to submit the payments he was receiving from the customers.
Tumaquip stated that, based on his audit, Reloza embezzled a total of $1,630 between January and April 2008, Maanao said.
