A Bastrop man was arrested Thursday after his manager told Monroe Police that he had gamed more than $5,000 from his place of business.

Kevin Shorter, 23, of 9045 Collinston Road, Bastrop, was charged with felony theft —taking of $5,000 but not more than $25,000.

The manager at GameStop, 4267 Pecanland Drive, Monroe, told police that Shorter stole $5,055.68 between July and Dec. 21 by using fraudulent transactions on rewards cards. He's also accused of stealing games held for sale, then selling them back to the business without permission.

According to the arrest affidavit, Shorter said he committed the theft after being read his Miranda rights.

He was booked into Ouachita Correctional Center, and bond has not yet been set.
