ORLANDO, Fla. — Authorities say a worker at a Walt Disney hotel stole nearly $49,000 from the company.

Jamaica Adidja Hall, 31, of Kissimmee, is accused of issuing fraudulent credit card refunds to guests. He then transferred those funds to his checking account, according to documents obtained Thursday from the State Attorney.

The fraudulent credit card refunds were issued between April 2016 to December 2016, according to the documents.

Disney started an internal investigation that eventually led to the Orange County Sheriff's Office getting involved.

Hall, who was charged with grand theft, is being held at the Orange County Jail.
