VERO BEACH FLA. Nov. 28, 2007— An accused shoplifter had a shopping cart full of merchandise and not much of an explanation why he walked out of the store with it.
In a report released by the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office on Monday, Kevin Byron Walker, no age or address given, was charged with retail theft for a Nov. 20 incident at Wal-Mart in Vero Beach. An employee witnessed Walker dropping items into a garbage can in his shopping cart as he walked through the store. Walker walked past the registers and allegedly out of the store before being confronted by a loss prevention officer in the parking lot, the report states.
Walker told a deputy the crime was a spur-of-the-moment impulse when he was at the check-out area, according to the report.
“He decided at that moment he was not going to pay for the items,” the deputy wrote in his report.
The Sheriff’s Office said the items in the cart totaled more than $259. Walker was not taken to jail, but was given a notice to appear in court for the charges.
