(DALLAS, Ore.) - A Dallas, Oregon man was arrested by Oregon State Police Wednesday for unlawfully keeping approximately $180,000.00 of Oregon Liquor Control Commission liquor sales at his Dallas-area store.

57-year old Michael Gene Mollgaard now faces multiple aggravated theft charges over the allegations.

Mollgaard was arrested on ten counts of first-degree Aggravated Theft following an indictment by the Polk County Grand Jury.

State Police say Mollgaard was the focus of a one-year investigation that started in November 2006, after an OLCC audit discovered a substantial shortage of reported sales profits from his liquor store at 180 SE Mill Street in Dallas.
