Thursday 23-year-old Justin Gillespie of St. Louis was charged with felony stealing. He does not have a listed attorney.

Gillespie works for AirServ, a contractor which provides passenger services at the airport.

Airport police say Gillespie wheeled the woman through security on Jan. 3. She then asked to use the restroom. A security camera allegedly shows Gillespie reaching into her bag as he waited for her outside the restroom. When the woman arrived home she noticed $800 was missing.
