Sapp Bros. Employee Admits to Stealing $2K From Safe

The deputy says the manager showed him video surveillance, printed off a paper showing the amount of money Hollenbach had taken thus far, and said the corporate office was looking further into the thefts.

Another employee reportedly brought Hollenbach into the back office where he was Mirandized.

The deputy says at first, Hollenbach told him he didn't know why he was there, but then admitted to taking cash from the safe.

The deputy says Hollenbach told him he had taken money four to six times while being employed for approximately three months and stole somewhere around $2,000.

Hollenbach was handcuffed and taken to the Laramie County Detention Center without issue, where he was booked on a single count of felony theft, a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison, up to a $10,000 fine, or both.

As of 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, the Laramie County Circuit Court had yet to process any charges.

UPDATE:

Hollenbach made his initial appearance in Circuit Court on Thursday afternoon, June 20, on a single count of felony theft.

His bond was set at $2,000 at 10% and his preliminary hearing was scheduled for June 27 at 2:00 p.m.
