GP Police Lodge One, Cite Another in Walmart Theft Cases
Grants Pass Police arrested one and cited another in separate Walmart shoplifting cases.
Tuesday at 11:12 a.m., loss prevention with the 135 NE Terry Lane store called 911 to report a man and woman were at the self-checkout skip scanning. The employee felt the value of all the items was about $1,000.
The man was described as wearing a black baseball cap and white t-shirt, while the woman had brown hair, and was wearing a blue Puma t-shirt. Both suspects were detained in the loss prevention office before the arrival of law enforcement.
Police contacted both individuals. The male suspect, Shane Shelton, admitted to committing the theft of about $259, while the female suspect denied it. Officers subsequently took Shelton into custody on a parole violation detainer, with charges of Second Degree Theft being referred for both suspects.
Shelton was lodged in the Josephine County Jail, and trespassed from the Walmart.
That afternoon at 2:50, loss prevention confronted Lacy Young Girard after she stole almost $60 worth of merchandise and passed all points of sale with the items concealed in her purse.
She was later contacted by arriving police officers, and admitted to the theft. She was issued a citation to appear in court, then released.
