Former employee charged in Cricket Wireless theft

An Eldon man charged in connection with a burglary at a Jefferson City business in March 2016 pleaded guilty to those charges and was placed on five years of supervised probation.

Dustin Headrick, 24, was charged with second-degree burglary and stealing.

The manager of Cricket Wireless on Missouri Boulevard said the business was burglarized and $1,934 in the cash register had been stolen, as well as the business's DVR for video surveillance, according to Jefferson City Police Department reports.

Headrick was a previously terminated Cricket employee, who went to the store and took the money.

Headrick burned the deposit envelope and deposit slip to avoid having them traced.

Money found on Headrick and at his residence totaled $1,633.

He also admitted to stealing from the Cricket Wireless location in Columbia a week before the break-in at the Jefferson City store.
