Man who stole checks at interview doesn't get the job but does get 3-6 of free room and board

Clyde Frampton Sr., the man who stole checks from a prospective employer during a job interview, was sentenced this week to three to six years.

Police said Lincoln Cold Storage's manager contacted police in October 2010 after noticing that a dozen blank business checks were missing from the office.

When he reported the missing checks to the bank, he was told four had been cashed, payable to Frampton, for $1,600.

The manager recognized Frampton's name because he'd interviewed him for a job opening.

The 42-year-old was arrested and since has pleaded guilty to second-degree forgery.
