PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An employee at a Coos Bay McDonald’s was arrested on Nov. 21 for allegedly stealing more than $22,000 from the local McDonald’s located at 772 Broadway St.

The employee, 28-year-old Coos Bay resident Melinda McCormick, is believed to have taken more than $22,000 worth of bank deposits from the business during the span of several months, the Coos Bay Police Department said.
