DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A former Dallas County employee has been arrested and accused of stealing more than $100,000.

Floretta Hampton, 41, was taken into custody after a warrant was issued for a theft that occurred while she worked for the county.

According to Deputy Raul Reyna, the theft occurred months ago. “The warrant was issued as a result of an investigation by the sheriff’s office into the theft of over $130,000 from the Dallas County District Clerk’s Office, that occurred back on April 1, 2011.”

Investigators believe Hampton and 41-year-old Dax Raymone Williams took the money from a vault in the clerk’s office.

As of Tuesday afternoon Sheriff’s Department detectives were still questioning Hampton.
