GP Police Arrested Walmart Shoplifting Suspect for Theft, Criminal Mischief
An attempt to steal over $300 from Walmart was thwarted by Grants Pass Police Monday.
The suspect was reported in the jewelry department of the 135 NE Terry Lane store around 8:17 a.m. She had two bags full of items, was wearing other merchandise, and had been ripping off the item's tags.
She was described to dispatch as having a blue and black backpack, a black shoulder bag, and a small black bag, filling all of them with merchandise. The jacket and shoes she was wearing were also property of Walmart.
Officers entered the jewelry department and contacted the suspect, Leo Wilson. She was taken into custody, and admitted to police that she planned on stealing the merchandise if law enforcement hadn't intervened.
Wilson's parole officer was contacted, leading to a detainer being issued. Officers transported Wilson to the Josephine County Adult Jail Facility for lodging on charges including Second Degree Theft, Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree, and the detainer. She was also warned for trespassing at the Walmart.
