A former casino employee says she is innocent after $500,000 went missing from the Monarch Casino Resort and Spa. 

The theft occurred on March 13, when surveillance cameras revealed former cashier Sabrina Eddy, 44, was placing "bricks" of money into a box and then loading that money into a gold-colored minivan. She returned and grabbed more money and transported it to St. Anthony's Hospital in Denver where she was instructed, according to an affidavit.
