What to do if I was suspended from work for not turning in a wallet that had money in it?

I did pick up the wallet and place it on myside of the register because I couldn’t leave my register; it was a holiday week and super busy so I planned on waiting for the customer to return or turn it in at end of my shift. Loss preventing claims I’m on camera picking the wallet up from my counter and placing by my side of the register. Then I continue to check out other customers and about an hour later it’s my break time another cashier takes me place and I pick up my pouch purse that’s beside the register 15 minutes later I return the wallets gone. The nvestigator questioned me and 2 days later issued a warrant.

Given the matter that you have written about I suggest that if there is a criminal action pending against you that you consult with a criminal defense attorney as to how to try and get the matter resolved. Based upon what you have written it would have been wise for you to have called over the intercolm for your supervisor to come and take the wallet from your possession when found.
