UPON MY ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH STORE SECURITY WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE DEFENDANT STOLE AND PLACED DOWN HIS PANTS AND UNDER HIS SHIRT, A CAMERA, SEVERAL CD'S AND DVD'S. THE DEFENDANT ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE STORE WITHOUT PAYING AND WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE SECURITY OFFICE BY LOSS PREVENTION. I ASKED THE STORE SECURITY IF THEY WISHED TO PROSECUTE AND WAS ADVISED YES, THEY DID WANT TO PROSECUTE. I PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN HANDCUFFS AND DOUBLE LOCKED THEM. AS I WAS DOING THIS I NOTICED A BULGE IN HIS BACK. DEPUTY MORTON LIFTED THE BACK OF THE DEFENDANT'S SHIRT AND WE OBSERVED ANOTHER CAMERA AND OTHER CD AND DVD MERCHANDISE DOWN THE BACK OF HIS PANTS. THE SECURITY OFFICER ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HAD TOLD HER THAT HE HAD NOTHING LEFT ON HIM, WHICH WAS A LIE DUE TO THE FACT WE LOCATED MORE MERCHANDISE. I WAS THEN ADVISED BY THE STORE MANAGER THAT THERE WAS A WHITE FEMALE LOOKING FOR THE DEFENDANT. I MADE CONTACT WITH HER AND ASKED HER FOR THE DEFENDANT'S IDENTIFICATION. SHE ADVISED ME THAT IT MIGHT BE IN HER TRUCK. I THEN WENT TO THE TRUCK WITH HER AND SHE HANDED ME A MISDEMEANOR CITATION THAT DEPUTY HUGHES HAD WRITTEN THE DEFENDANT TODAY AT 1230 HOURS IN REFERENCE TO ANOTHER RETAIL THEFT THE DEFENDANT HAD COMMITTED AT WAL-MART. I MADE CONTACT WITH DEPUTY HUGHES WHO ADVISED HE TRIED TO GIVE THE DEFENDANT A BREAK AND THAT HE HAD STOLEN APPROXIMATELY $270.00 AT WAL-MART EARLIER TODAY. THE WHITE FEMALE ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS OUT ON $2,000.00 BOND FROM MARION COUNTY REFERENCE ANOTHER RETAIL THEFT APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AGO. WHEN I ASKED THE DEFENDANT ABOUT THESE INCIDENTS. HE ADVISED ME THAT HE DOES NOT STEAL AND THAT HE IS NOT A DRUG ADDICT, EVEN THOUGH THE WHITE FEMALE ADVISED ME HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH METHAMPHETAMINES. THE DEFENDANT HAS OPEN SORES OVER HIS ARMS AND BODY. WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT THOSE SORES HE ADVISED THEY WERE EITHER POISON IVY OR POISON OAK. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE COULD PAY FOR ALL THE ITEMS AND THAT HE WOULD PAY FOR THEM SO WE WOULD LET HIM GO. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT THE STORE WISHED TO PROSECUTE AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO JAIL. I DID PUT A NO BOND ON THE DEFENDANT DUE TO THE FACT OF HIS HISTORY AND THAT HE HAS BEEN CAUGHT SHOPLIFTING THREE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK AND HAS TWO PRIOR CONVICTIONS ON HIS CRIMINAL HISTORY FOR RETAIL THEFT. *NOT-EXEMPT*
