Officials from Goodwill’s Columbia Willamette branch told deputies in July they thought an employee was stealing the donations after a tip, said Sgt. David Thompson, a spokesman for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Goodwill hired a private investigator who turned over the investigation to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies identified Jason Baca, of Cornelius, as a suspect, and arrested him today on theft charges. They believe Baca, who picked up deliveries from Goodwill drop-off sites, would pilfer through donations and take items back to his house. He’d also resell items, Thompson said.
After Baca was arrested, he admitted to many of the thefts and allowed detectives to search his house. There, investigators found thousands of DVDs, CDs and video games, along with hundreds of shoes and 10 big-screen televisions, Thompson said. Investigators needed a semi-truck to move the evidence they gathered.
Detectives have also identified several other suspects, including three current or former Goodwill employees, Thompson said. Additional arrests are expected.
