(PUEBLO, Colo.) — 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. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Suspect in Pueblo Rescue Mission theft in custody 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. Allegedly, it was part of the intake documents that residents sign at the Mission that they must save 30% of their income, which came from jobs, disability payments, social security, and other sources. The residents were reportedly supposed to give the money to Arabie, who would put it in a ledger and store it in individual folders in her office. However, members of the Mission's board said they were not aware of this policy and could not verify it in Mission paperwork. The treasurer and executive director attempted to verify the amount of cash kept in the safe in Arabie's office by conducting an audit, at which point the cash was not found in the safe, and Arabie claimed that it was in another safe in another manager's office. When this was found to be false, Arabie then claimed she felt uncomfortable with that amount of cash being on-site and had deposited it into a bank account. The account bore Arabie's name, not the Rescue Mission, Arabie reportedly told her coworkers. The executive director and treasurer met up with Arabie at the bank to withdraw the money and return it to the residents, but Arabie came clean at the bank that there was no account, and then proceeded to blame her son for taking the money. Arabie's son was also an employee of the Mission, and Arabie alleged that her son had been caught selling drugs at the Mission while at work and that he had admitted to taking the money. The arrest documents state that the executive director told police he had reviewed security footage that did not show Arabie's son entering her office. In addition, Arabie said in an email to another coworker that she had lied and tried to blame the theft on her son, and in the same email, alleged it had been a resident staying at the Mission who had stolen the money. Arabie claimed in the email that she had erased the video of the resident going into her office because he had allegedly pleaded with her not to report him, and Arabie added that she was trying to replace the money from her husband's IRA account. "I failed my job, my residents my staff, and the board, and for my failures, I will never forgive myself," Arabie said in the email, claiming that her only wrongdoing was not reporting the theft sooner. "I will just make sure that this failure is righted. I am truly sorry for not telling you all the truth, and now I can only pray that you understand why." Once police received the ledger of residents' deposits, it was discovered that around $17,000 was unaccounted for, though the executive director told police he believed there was more missing than the ledger reflected. Courtesy: Pueblo Police Department An arrest warrant was issued for Arabie in December on felony theft charges, and police requested help from the community in locating her. However, the day after Christmas, Arabie surrendered to police in Pueblo and was booked into the Pueblo County Detention Center. Arabie is due in Pueblo County Court on Feb. 3.
