A Chattooga County Deputy was dispatched to the Walmart on Highway 27 on Wednesday, in regard to a shoplifting incident.  The deputy arrived shortly after 4:30 that afternoon, where two individuals were being detained.

According to store employees the pair, later identified as Robert Hunt and Rachael Womack had been observed walking throughout the store, stuffing a variety of merchandise into a purse – including batteries, a flashlight, fishing line, and other unidentified items.

The pair had apparently attempted to exit the store when they were confronted by store personnel, with the female refusing to cooperate.

Following a search of the purse, Womack was arrested for shoplifting and transported to the Chattooga County Jail without incident.
