Cafeteria Worker Held on Theft Charge

James Harris faces third-degree larceny charges in connection with the alleged theft of nearly $10,000

A Greenwich public school cafeteria worker has been arrested on accusations he stole thousands of dollars in lunch money from students and failed to appear in court.

James Harris faces third-degree larceny charges in connection with the alleged theft of nearly $10,000. Hearst Connecticut Media reports he turned himself in to police Wednesday on a warrant.

The 37-year-old Harris also faces charges for missing scheduled court appearances related to a 2012 driving infraction when police said he was driving with a suspended license.

Harris' bond was set at $25,750.

Police say Harris took cash over several years from students at the cash register for his own use, sometimes dollars and cents at a time.
