A shoplifting incident was reported at the Walmart in Trion on December 20. According to the report by the Chattooga County Sheriff's Office, Asset Protection Associate Johnnie Smith told deputies that he saw a woman put items into a buggy inside the store. He said when she noticed him looking at her, she put a pair of boots back and left the buggy in the aisle. Smith said there were five perfume gift sets and three holiday ribbons in the buggy. He said he left to see what would happen and watched the woman on the store monitor. He said he then saw the woman put the boots and other items in bags that she had with her, put the bags in another buggy and quickly leave the store. He said he went into the parking lot and saw the woman and a small female child put the bags into a dark mid-size car and leave. Smith got the tag number and showed the deputies the video of the theft. The woman has been banned from the store and will be arrested for criminal trespass if she returns, according to the report. The incident has been turned over to investigators.
