Sister lunch ladies arrested for stealing about $500K in children's lunch money, police say
The two sisters turned themselves in to New Canaan police over the weekend after arrest warrants were issued. They were both released after paying a $50,000 bond.
School officials started to become suspicious over the years after a new software that tracks cash intake was implement in 2016 at Saxe Middle School where Pascarelli worked, according to local paper the New Canaan News.
From the 2013 to 2016 fiscal years Saxe Middle School had an average daily deposit ranging from $18 to $33. Once the new software was installed in 2016, the daily deposits started averaging $93 a day in 2017 and $183 a day in 2018, the New Canaan News reported.
Pascarelli told police she would “never take money” while Wilson, who said she gave $100 a day to her boss in the New Canaan High School cafeteria, also said she "never took a dollar."
Wilson worked as an assistant food director for New Canaan High School, which lost $350,000 from 2012 to 2017. Police said under Wilson's direction, cashiers didn't count money at the end of the day but rather left that job for Wilson.
