Shoplifter's Brilliant Escape Plan Ends in Gator Infested Waters

According to court documents, on June 23, 2025, officers were on routine patrol when they spotted a woman who was wanted for questioning in two shoplifting cases. Walmart said the woman took $223 of merchandise on April 4th, and then on June 23rd, Target said the woman had walked past all points of sale with a cart full of items ($511 worth). As the police questioned her about these events, she would end up running and jump into a nearby canal. After a pursuit that included an officer jumping into the water, she would be caught. ---------------------------------------------------------- Things the Narrator Likes Today Full Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, PRA earns a commission from qualifying purchases made through the links below.
