The victim stated that she discovered the suspect’s comment while she was traveling on US 219 in the Wild Maggie area in Hambleton.
Sara Elizabeth Davis of Parsons was charged with Shoplifting and Conspiracy. According to the complaint Patrolman First Class N.C. Gidley received a direct complaint from Store Manager Ellen Freeman in reference to a suspected shoplifting that had occurred on May 15 at the BFS in Parsons. Gidley met with her and she stated, in summary, that she ad been approached by an employee regarding a suspected theft of alcohol. She stated that just prior to midnight on Tuesday, April 15, two suspects (one male and one female) entered the BFS wanting to purchase alcohol and left shortly after without paying for any items. Freeman then stated that she reviewed the CCTV footage and observed the female subject pick up a bottle of alcohol, remove the security tag and then uses her coat to conceal the bottle of alcohol before leaving the store.
Upon reviewing the footage Pfc Gidley observed the female subject, identified as Sara Elizabeth Davis, and the male subject, identified as Joshua Ellis Runner enter the liquor section at approximately 11:51 p.m. Both parties appear to be looking at and discussing multiple bottles of alcohol and at approximately 11:56 p.m. Davis is observed holding a bottle and appears to be removing the security tag from the bottle. At approximately 11:57 p.m. Davis is observed making a motion consistent with placing the security tag on the underside of the shelf. It appears that both parties come to an agreement on the alcohol, and Davis is observed taking off her coat and placing the bottle of alcohol inside of it. Both parties then exit the store without paying for any goods or items.
Pfc. Gidley was advised that the bottle of alcohol was Amaretto Di Amore valued at $15.99 before tax. A criminal history check was conducted on both parties for prior shoplifting charges and came back that both parties have charges in Randolph County with no listed disposition. This crime was committed in Tucker County.
All individuals are presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law.
