Attempted Theft at Walmart During Shop with a Cop Event Leads to Arrest
GENOA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A woman was apprehended for allegedly attempting to steal from a Walmart in Livingston County while a Shop with a Cop event was taking place over the weekend.
Michigan State Police reported that law enforcement officers from various agencies were present at the store in Genoa Township on Dec. 2, when they were alerted to a woman trying to abscond with over $700 worth of merchandise. The incident occurred while seventy-five officers were participating in the event at the supermarket.
Authorities were able to track down the 62-year-old woman from Haslett in the parking lot, where her vehicle was parked next to patrol vehicles.
The woman was subsequently arrested and taken to the Livingston County Jail.
The Shop with a Cop event is a heartwarming initiative that provides support to families through donations from local businesses, allowing children to team up with an officer and shop for themselves.
It is truly unfortunate that such an incident occurred during this special event, but the swift action of law enforcement ensured that justice was served.
Agree
Great to see justice being served! No one should be exempt from the consequences of their actions, regardless of the event.
Justice served, no exceptions!
Justice prevails when no one is exempt, even during a special event like Shop with a Cop.
