Woman says she was fired for not taking polygraph test

The woman at the center of a theft investigation over $14,000 missing from the Pulaski County Comptroller's office says she's been fired. 

Serita Holmes says an illness caused her to miss a scheduled polygraph test.  She claims when she returned to work after sick leave she got fired for refusing to take the test.  Holmes says her family started getting harassing phone calls and the stress of the situation became too much so she doesn't trust the test and stopped cooperating.

Holmes says she did not steal the money.

The county comptroller hasn't returned calls about the firing.
