On 10/2/17, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Whitney Ray (Johnson City, 36 years old) and charged her with theft of property over $2,500.
Ms. Ray’s arrest is the result of an investigation into money being payed to her after it was discovered that she manipulated the amount of money owed to her as an employee of the Double Tree Hotel. An internal investigation by management and accountants of the Double Tree Hotel, 211 Mockingbird Lane, Johnson City, revealed that over a period of a few months Ms. Ray, who worked as a server, had been skewed tips and payment for services provided by the Hotel to select guests of the Hotel.
On 10/2/17, Ray was booked into the Washington County Detention Center, where she is being held in lieu of a $10,000 bond. Arraignment is set for 1:30 p.m. on 10/3/17.
