From Post Falls Police Department Facebook: "Officers were dispatched to Wal-Mart after an Asset Protection employee observed a male concealing store merchandise in several bags and back packs. When Officers made contact with the male he was alone and he claimed the shopping cart he was pushing belonged to someone else. Officers discovered the male had a Colt BB gun tucked into the front waistband of his pants and he was detained. Officers learned the male was on Felony Probation for Burglary. During the ensuing investigation it was determined that the male concealed over $700 worth of merchandise in four different bags. He was not is possession of any money or method of which he could use to pay for any items in the bags nor did he have the means to pay for the box of ice cream sandwiches and Mountain Dew that he had opened and snacked upon during his shopping spree. He was arrested for willful concealment and an agents warrant for a probation violation.”
