Incident Details:
On October 17, 2024, at approximately 05:09 PM, officers arrested a suspect for shoplifting at a retail store on Highway 95 North. The incident involved a pattern of thefts, with eight prior shoplifting occurrences documented between August 14 and October 13, 2024. In each instance, the suspect used a similar method at the self-checkout by scanning only one of two bundled items, leaving the second unpaid.
On this particular date, the suspect failed to scan multiple items, including deli meats, avocados, and mushrooms, totaling $50.73. Store personnel contacted law enforcement when the suspect returned to the store despite being previously involved in multiple shoplifting cases.
The suspect became argumentative when approached, necessitating her handcuffing for safety. Officers gathered video evidence, receipts, and photographs of the incidents, all of which were added to the case file. The suspect was indefinitely trespassed from the store, and the terms were explained and acknowledged.
After the suspect began hyperventilating, officers adjusted her handcuffs to the front. She declined further medical assistance and was transported to the Lake Havasu City jail, where she was booked and held for court.
