A woman has been arrested after defrauding a Dollar General in North Fort Myers.

On Wednesday, Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Domynque McCurdy, a former Dollar General worker.

LCSO said McCurdy used fake refunds and applied them to her debit cards over the course of two months.

During the investigation, McCurdy explained that she needed the money for an upcoming move and took the money to finance the future costs associated with it.

The theft totaled more than $7,000, and during each transaction, deputies said, she would scan a $50 toy called Squeakee Dino multiple times to make the returns.

McCurdy is charged with larceny and defrauding to obtain property valued at less than $20,000.

McCurdy is out of jail as of Monday night.
