    DUNEDIN, Fla. - An employee of Home Plate on the Trail Restaurant in Dunedin has been arrested after the owners were notified that the woman was canceling transactions and pocketing the cash, according to the the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.

    The sheriff's office says restaurant owners subsequently asked their Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to look into the canceled transactions by Ann Milewski, which showed an estimated loss of over $57,000 dating back to 2021.

    Over the next three days, the owners told law enforcement that Milewski was seen canceling items on cash orders and pocketing the money.
