ROTHSCHILD, Wis (WSAU) A woman who's accused of staging a robbery at a Rothschild gas station is under arrest. Charges are pending against a store employee who investigators say was also involved in the scheme.

A worker at the R-Store in Rothschild called police around 6:30 Sunday night, and claimed the store was robbed while they were in the bathroom on break. Police were suspicious because the store's security cameras had been turned off at the time. About a-thousand dollars worth of cigarettes were taken.

20-year-old Emily Yarie was charged with misdemeanor theft. She's entered a not guilty plea, and is free on 500-dollars signature bond. The store employee was also taken into custody. Their name will be released once charges are filed.
