Perhaps it is because it is America’s largest company with respect to sales dollars per year, but it seems like a day does not go by there something does not happen at a Walmart. From the crazy photos you get spammed with, to stories of shoplifting to the bank robbery in a store in Longmont, Colorado, things happen at Walmart.
In this incident, 29-year-old Lori Michelle Presley was charged with theft of property, simple possession of drugs, and public intoxication.
Clerks called police after allegedly seeing Presley take perfume and cosmetics out of their packaging and conceal them in her purse.
Officers found Presley to have slurred speech and noticed that she "kept nodding off." Allegedly, Presley admitted to being under the influence of various drugs, including Xanax pills.
In another case, a New Hampshire woman was accused of stealing. Pamela Lynn Lawrence, 26, of Nottingham, New Hampshire, was charged with shoplifting and trespassing. Store officials called police after allegedly observing Lawrence take several edible items and conceal them in her purse.
A loss prevention worker stopped Lawrence as she was trying to exit the store through the lawn and garden center.
After entering Lawrence's name into a Walmart database, the store official learned that Lawrence had been charged with shoplifting at a Walmart in Nottingham, New Hampshire on August 25 last year and had been banned from entering any Walmart store for one year.
Adding insult to injury, the food she attempted to steal was valued at $7.36. Shameful behavior by American citizens. Do these culprits need drug and alcohol classes, stop theft classes or both.
