An investigation ensued during which deputies found that since December of last year, Bourgeois had taken more than $9,000 from the business.
Bourgeois was fired on Wednesday, July 6.
The 35-year-old was subsequently arrested and charged with theft $5,000 to $25,000.
Bourgeois was taken to the Calcasieu Correctional Center and eventually bonded out on Thursday, July 7.
The investigation remains ongoing.
