An Arizona election worker is accused of stealing from the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center in Phoenix.
The incident happened on the morning of June 21 after Maricopa County Elections said workers identified an item that was stolen from the ballot tabulation center the night before.
According to court documents, Walter Ringfield, 27, was seen on surveillance video stealing a lanyard with keys and a fob attached to it.
When confronted about the theft, Ringfield allegedly denied taking the keys and the fob. However, security working at the election office saw the lanyard and keys inside Ringfield's car.
Police later went to Ringfield's home and arrested him. The lanyard and keys were found in his car. The missing fob was found inside his home.
Ringfield allegedly admitted to stealing the fob but said he "gave it back" after 20 minutes.
"Walter stated his reason for taking the fob was because he wanted to ‘clean up,’" court documents read. "Walter said the job was temporary and he was trying to make it permanent, so he wanted to clean up."
