Shoplifter Intercepted by Loss Prevention, Arrested by GP Police after Chase
A Fred Meyer shoplifter was apprehended by officers after a chase Sunday evening.
At 6:23 p.m., loss prevention from the 1101 Grants Pass Parkway store notified officers that the suspect, Kody Halverson, had attempted to steal less than $100 of merchandise by concealing the items in his backpack.
Loss prevention got into a tug of war with Halverson over the backpack. Halverson eventually let go and proceeded to flee towards the O'Reilly Auto Parts at 150 NE Terry Lane.
Officers were able to locate Halverson and take him into custody. After admitting to the theft and tug of war, Halverson was charged with Third Degree Robbery.
A charge of First Degree Trespass was referred to the District Attorney's Office due to Halverson's prior trespass and theft from the Fred Meyer.
