Reda, who had been the store's manager, was extradited from Tennessee and taken to the Harrison County jail on a $75,000 bond set by Justice Court Judge Bruce Strong.
In February, Mateya Rejane Perez of Gulfport, was charged with one count of felony embezzlement and was also released on $75,000 bond.
