A former manager at a High Point Walmart is accused of quietly siphoning off six figures in company cash, then walking away from the job before anyone could catch on. Her arrest came last Tuesday in Charlotte, where she was booked on an embezzlement charge tied to the alleged scheme.
Authorities say the total loss clocked in at $121,471 and that the suspected thefts took place in 2025 at the High Point store. The case centers on what investigators describe as a months-long pattern rather than a single brazen haul.
According to Charlotte Alerts News, 31-year-old Martaijah Jackson allegedly used her role as a manager to access company cash over time. Prosecutors believe she pocketed the money in smaller increments over several months, then abruptly quit once store leadership started flagging discrepancies.
WCCB Charlotte listed Jackson in its May 26 Mecklenburg County mugshot gallery, where “Embezzlement” appeared next to her booking photo. The gallery serves as a public snapshot of recent arrests and confirms she was processed in Mecklenburg County on that date.
Allegations And Timeline
Local reporting indicates the alleged embezzlement unfolded in 2025 at the High Point Walmart and was structured as a series of smaller cash extractions instead of one large hit. As described by Charlotte Alerts News, prosecutors say Jackson funneled company cash to herself and then suddenly left the job after the store began to notice that the numbers were not adding up.
What The Law Says
Under North Carolina law, embezzling $100,000 or more is treated as a Class C felony, while amounts under $100,000 fall into Class H felony territory, according to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-90. If the reported figure of $121,471 is accurate, the alleged conduct would meet the threshold for the more serious felony classification, carrying the potential for stiffer penalties if there is a conviction.
Details on Jackson’s arraignment, bond, or specific charging documents were not included in the local coverage. Court records and official filings will ultimately provide the definitive list of charges and the schedule of upcoming hearings. This story will be updated when a public court docket or formal statement from prosecutors or law enforcement becomes available.
