Arrest documents are revealing more information about thefts from residents of the Pueblo Rescue Mission (PRM) that total anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000.
According to the arrest affidavit for a former employee of PRM, Lori Arabie, Arabie was working as a director at the Mission and was allegedly the only one with access to a safe in her office where residents’ cash was stored.
The documents reveal that the Mission’s treasurer was informed in September by the executive director that a large sum of money, between $10,000 and $20,000 of residents’ cash, was stored on-site. The treasurer was shocked because that posed a large liability risk. The treasurer was under the assumption that petty cash was kept on-site, but not as much money as was reported.
