Sister Duo Bilked $2,100 from Woodman's, Police Say

A Milwaukee woman is facing multiple charges after allegedly giving away more than $2,000 of merchandise to her sister while she was working at Woodman’s.

According to the criminal complaint:

Erika Davis, 39, performed fraudulent transactions on eight separate occasions as a cashier at Woodman’s. Davis would ring up groceries and merchandise, and subsequently void the transaction after swiping a debit card. The customer, who on most occasions was Davis’ sister, would leave with the groceries.

The duo performed this same “transaction” seven times together between October and December last year. On one occasion, an older female played the part of customer.

Davis bilked the grocer of $2,147.53 worth of food and other items. On Dec. 1, Davis voided a $646 bill, and her sister left with a full cart.

Davis now faces three misdemeanor charges for theft, and could pay up to $30,000 in fines and spend over two years in jail.
