Delekta was arrested on felony embezzlement, counterfeiting and other charges in February and was due to appear in court for a prearraignment disposition conference on March 29.

Court records show Delkta was charged with a similar crime in 2012 for her theft of money from an East Greenwich restaurant where she was employed.

In that case, she stole $700 cash from a petty cash box and racked up personal charges on a company credit card. She also allegedly collected money from fellow employees to send flowers to another employee after a death in the family but pocketed the money instead.
