Overview
- Rene Nichole Coleman was arrested Monday, April 6, on an outstanding warrant and charged with Class C felony theft, with bond set at $15,000 and a court date on May 18.
- Police records say a payroll error on May 10, 2025, paid her $1,650 per hour for a 12-hour shift instead of $16.50, creating an alleged $19,388 overpayment.
- Superior Senior Care reported the issue to Jonesboro police and supplied financial records and emails that investigators cited in a probable-cause affidavit.
- An incident report says she told her employer she spent the money on repairs for her husband's semi-truck, and police say she later said she did not pay attention and tried to offer repayment.
- Arkansas law classifies theft between $5,000 and $25,000 as a Class C felony, so employers can pursue criminal charges in addition to seeking repayment.
