A Saluda woman has been accused of fraud after she allegedly added more money to the tip amount while working at an Aiken restaurant.
Brandy Skinner, 39, was arrested July 23 by Aiken Department of Public Safety officers after responding to a restaurant on Fabian Drive.
Officers said they met with one of the restaurant managers who said he had an employee that was suspected of fraud after receiving complaints about monetary discrepancies from customers involving Skinner, according to police.
The manager showed receipts from June 28, July 12 and July 19, police said.
All transactions in question showed Skinner as the employee, and showed she added $1 and $2 tips on June 28 and $5 and $10 tips to transactions on July 12, according to reports.
Skinner told officers she did not mean to purposely add the tips onto the bills, and she believed the management staff was trying to get her in trouble because she knew too much about their personal lives, police said.
Skinner was transported to the Aiken County detention center where she was later released.
