Officers at 5:25 p.m. Aug. 3 responded to Walmart regarding a suspected female shoplifter the store had in custody.
A store security officer reported watching the woman take a cart full of merchandise through a self-checkout register, where she paid for 11 items totaling $35.39, but failed to pay for another 32 household items totaling $210.48. She bagged all the items and left the store before store security stopped her.

Police charged the woman with petty theft.
