ON 022412 AT APPROXIMATELY 1505 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE BEALLS DEPARTMENT STORE IN REGARDS TO A THEFT BY SHOPLIFTER WHO WAS IN CUSTODY. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICER, MR CHAD WHITLER (COMPLAINANT). HE ADVISED THAT HE OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TAKE SEVERAL ITEMS AND LEAVE THE STORE WITHOUT PAYING FOR THEM. UPON BRINGING HER INTO THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICE, THEY WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE DEFENDANT REMOVED SEVERAL WATCHES AND SOME CLOTHING ITEMS TOTALING $203.52. THESE ITEMS WERE HIDDEN IN A BODY GIRDLE THAT WAS FLESH COLORED. SHE WAS WEARING A ONE PIECE BLACK IN COLOR SWIMSUIT UNDERNEATH HER BODY GIRDLE AND SHE WAS WEARING CLOTHING ON THE OUTSIDE OF HER BODY GIRDLE. WHEN I WALKED INTO THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICE THE DEFENDANT WAS PUTTING HER CLOTHING BACK ON BECAUSE SHE HAD TAKEN HER OUTER CLOTHING OFF IN ORDER TO SHOW WHERE THE STOLEN ITEMS WERE BEING KEPT. I RECEIVED A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE COMPLAINANT. I THEN RETURNED THE STOLEN ITEMS ON A PROPERTY RECEIPT. I SECURED THE DVD AS WELL AS THE PLASTIC SWIFT TICKET ON A PROPERTY RECEIPT ALONG WITH THE GIRDLE THAT WILL BE TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN AT THE SCENE. I THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED HER BEHIND HER BACK, AND TRANSPORTED HER TO THE DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING WHERE SHE WAS CHARGED WITH A BOND OF $250.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
