A couple's thievery brought Chattooga County deputies to the Trion Walmart on Highway 27 this past Friday, June 6th.

Melissa Barnett and Greg Williamson placed several items into Ms. Barnett's purse as they shopped through the store, purchased a few items through the self checkout line, but never payed for the items in the handbag.

The couple took approximately $52 worth of various items.

 The two were taken to the Chattooga County Jail for theft by shoplifting.
