Shoplifting

An officer was dispatched March 9 to Walmart in reference to shoplifting. The officer spoke with an employee who stated that on March 4, she observed on two men on video surveillance not scanning in merchandise that they had in their shopping cart. They took turns placing the unscanned merchandise inside a Walmart shopping bag. The merchandise the subjects scanned and paid for via credit card (ending 2601) totaled $36.54, and the unscanned merchandise the subjects did not pay for totaled $109.36. The subjects took the unpaid merchandise passed the last point of sale and exited Walmart through the grocery side exit doors. The two men were identified based on their school clothing. They were issued citations for theft by shoplifting. 

Fight

An officer spoke with a complainant on March 9, who said that someone assaulted him at his home. The man said he was working on a car for someone for approximately two months. The man stopped by to check on his progress and he looked inside the vehicle and noticed that his radio was missing. The man confronted him, they argued, and the man allegedly hit him with a brick. A few minutes later, the man’s father arrived and explained that his son was upset because it was taking so long for the work to be completed on his vehicle. They requested the vehicle be returned so that the could take it somewhere else to have the work done. The man said he never assaulted the complainant, they only had a verbal argument. Due to conflicting testimonies of the event, no charges will be pressed.
