COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — A suburban man allegedly pocketed more than $1,000 from his job stocking ATMs and collecting money from video games to help pay for his upcoming wedding, prosecutors said.

Carlos Dominguez, 23, of Norridge, worked for Thillens Armored Security, said Assistant State's Attorney Erin Antonietti.

Thursday afternoon, Dominguez was caught by his boss with $1,250 in his pocket that he had allegedly taken from video game machines and then did not report, according to Antonietti and court records.

Dominguez, who had worked for the security company for more than a year, allegedly told police later he had taken the money to help pay for his wedding, Antonietti said. He was arrested at the company's Irving Park office.
