A Florida man faces allegations of retail theft, accused of shoplifting from a Walmart at a most inopportune time.
Grant Scott Timm, 35, was arrested last Wednesday evening on a charge
of retail petit theft with a value of $100 or less after he was
allegedly caught shoplifting at the Walmart in Lecanto during the Shop
with a Cop event hosted by the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).
Shop with a Cop brings numerous deputies, firefighters and underprivileged children together to shop for Christmas gifts. According to the arrest report, a deputy found Timm acting suspiciously and removing items in various sections of the Walmart before leaving the store. A deputy approached Timm in the parking lot and asked him if he had purchased anything.
Timm said no, but said he took some steaks, the report said. Timm reportedly produced a package of steaks and a packaged bicycle computer from his waistband. He stated to the deputy that he was hungry and did not have any money to pay for the items. Authorities later found methadone tablets, not prescribed to him, inside a cigarette carton in Timm’s possession. Timm was arrested and transported to the Citrus County Detention Facility. Bond was set at $2,500.
