Tim Augustine

Tim Augustine, longtime Varnado, LA  cable television personality and radio station sales representative, has been arrested on a warrant issued after an investigation prompted by a complaint from the radio station, WBOX. 

According to gobogalusa.com, he was charged with theft over $1,500.

The Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office received the complaint on June 7 after WBOX found “gross discrepancies in their bookkeeping records,” and  “a lengthy criminal investigation” was initiated.

“The investigation, in part, revealed numerous clients paying for advertising services with checks to WBOX,” Haley said. “These checks were collected by then WBOX employee Timothy Augustine, who instructed the clients to just make the checks payable in his name.

“These checks were cashed, but the payments were never received by WBOX. The investigation concluded with a warrant being issued for the arrest of Augustine for one count of theft over $1,500.”
