An audit system for the self-checkout machines was implemented in October of 2023. It was then that accountants supporting Fresh Thyme noticed a large amount of money missing from the Troy location.

It is alleged that Beaver often scheduled himself as the only manager responsible for depositing the daily cash, including on his days off, according to the Attorney General's office.

An audit revealed discrepancies between the cash sales and deposits, with an approximate loss amount of $900,000. An investigation revealed that approximately $750,000 of the loss was due to theft by Beaver.
