UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT/WITNESS LOSS PREVENTION OFFICER WILLIAMS. HE PROVIDED A WRITTEN STATEMENT AND ADVISED THAT HE OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS MICHELLE SPIVEY, SELECT A VARIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE AND GROCERY MERCHANDISE. SOME ITEMS SHE CONCEALED INSIDE HER PURSE AND SOME ITEMS SHE HAD PLACED ON THE CHILD'S SEAT IN THE SHOPPING CART. SHE THEN PROCEEDED TO THE CASH REGISTER WHERE SHE PAID FOR THE ITEMS SHE HAD IN HER SHOPPING CART, BUT NOT THE ONES SHE HAD CONCEALED INSIDE HER PURSE. SHE THEN EXITED THE STORE PASSING ALL POINTS OF SALE, AT WHICH TIME, OFFICER WILLIAMS IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AND PLACED HER IN TO CUSTODY UNTIL THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE COULD ARRIVE. I THEN SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT AND READ HER, HER MIRANDA RIGHTS. THE DEFENDANT WAIVED HER RIGHTS. THE DEFENDANT'S STATEMENT CORROBORATED WITH THAT OF OFFICER WILLIAMS' STATEMENT.
