Pregnant Texas restaurant manager fired after robbery hired at another Popeyes location

A pregnant shift manager at a Houston-area fast-food restaurant who says she was fired after a robbery has a new job.

KHOU-TV (http://bit.ly/1JCNyPb ) reports Marissa Holcomb starts her new position Thursday at a different Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.

Holcomb says she was fired after a March 31 robbery at a Popeyes in Channelview for not paying back $400 stolen by a gunman.

The franchise owner says Holcomb broke policy by leaving too much cash in the register.

Holcomb, who's married with three children, received an apology last week from the owner and was offered her old job back.

A statement Thursday from Atlanta-based Popeyes says the company received a letter from an attorney for Holcomb about an event at an independently owned and operated location. The company declined further comment.
