Mitchell was detained Monday by loss prevention staff after a review of the nighttime security video was done to discover why the janitorial work wasn't being completed.

Loss prevention staff reported they saw Mitchell taking beers from a loading dock storage area on numerous occasions. It was estimated he had stolen and consumed $104 worth of beer during his shifts from July 6th to the 25th.
