It's not quite as impressive as stealing nearly 2 million quarters, but another alleged inside job is making headlines off the police blotter. A Winn-Dixie employee in Florida is accused of ringing up $23,000 in phony coupon transactions and keeping the money, reports the Daytona Beach News-Journal. The supermarket caught on after noticing a plunge in profits along with an inexplicable spike in coupon use. Police say Ibilola Badmus, 30, confessed to the months-long scheme involving fake coupon codes and faces charges of grand theft, reports ClickOrlando.com. (More Winn-Dixie stories.)
