34-year-old Menlo woman Lacy Timmons was arrested earlier this month after attempting to steal 208 dollars’ worth of merchandise from the Trion Walmart.

A county sheriff’s deputy responded to the Trion Walmart on the evening November 5th and met with Walmart’s loss protection officer.

The deputy was informed that Timmons “had a buggy and was going around the store getting items and concealing them in Walmart bags and putting them back in her buggy”. Timmons then left in a gray car that had a busted rear window.

After being shown surveillance camera footage of the incident, the deputy put out a lookout call on Timmons’ grey car, which was located by another deputy in Pennville and pulled over in the Save-A-Lot parking lot.

Mrs. Timmons quickly admitted to the theft, saying that stole the items to sell at Trade Day to have some money to buy her daughter something for Christmas. Timmons was booked into the county jail on the charge of Theft by Shoplifting.
