An Allegheny County man charged with stealing more than $13,000 from his employer through the use of fuel cards pleaded guilty in Butler County Court on Wednesday and was admitted into the county's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program.

Mark A. Giles, 29, of Clinton, pleaded guilty to felony theft before Judge Timothy McCune, who placed him in the ARD program.

Giles' attorney, Jacob Wyland, said his client paid $10,000 toward the restitution, which led to the resolution to the case in this matter.

“He has taken great effort on his part to make his victim whole,” he said.

Police allege Giles had been stealing from Sysco Foods Services from December 2013 to October 2016 by use of company gas cards.

A detailed spreadsheet showed fuel cards being used near Giles' residence, near his place of employment and other areas Giles would travel.

Police reports state Bill Oehmler, Sysco's transportation vice president, learned that Giles would allegedly take a fuel card intended for delivery drivers and use PIN numbers from other employees.

Employees are not allowed to use cards for personal needs, and Giles did not have a company card assigned to him.
