A screener at Mitchell International Airport allegedly seen taking $20 from a passenger's wallet at a security checkpoint was charged today in the theft. Shantel T. Riser, 26, was charged with one count of misdemeanor theft, value not exceeding $2,500, and faces a maximum sentence of 9 months in prison and a fine of $10,000. A Genoa City passenger told deputies he was awaiting screening in the Concourse D security checkpoint area around 6:10 a.m. Saturday when he saw Riser take the money, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. Deputies found $235 in all, hidden behind a magazine rack where a co-worker said Riser was storing items. Riser has been employed by TSA for four years, the sheriff's office said.
