From KOIN on 2/20/14:

Richard Lee Anderson, 56, was arraigned Wednesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court on a grand jury indictment charging him with two counts of first-degree aggravated theft. The new case was opened after investigators received an anonymous tip.

The new grand jury indictment was issued Feb. 13, 2014.
Investigators learned after Anderson left Typhoon! — which shut down its five locations in February 2012 — he was re-hired at Sysco as a district manager. Officials said one of the clients he was responsible for was Bambuza Vietnam Bistro, which has two restaurant locations on the South Waterfront in Portland and in Hillsboro.

Anderson would then pick up the extra items himself and then sell them on the side, court documents allege.
