An employee of a store in the Diamond Run Mall is charged with embezzlement after police said he stole more than $7,000 from the Game Stop over the course of a year. 30-year-old Stephen Peton pleaded innocent in Rutland District Court to the charges which carry a maximum penalty of 30 years in jail. Rutland County Sheriff's deputies say Peton confessed to falsifying product returns, store transfers and inventory adjustments to steal the money.
