Women Facing Felony Charges For Fraudulent Returns At Walmart

June 28, 2012

An alleged attempt to return shoplifted merchandise to a Walmart store landed a young Atmore woman behind bars.

Kwantrica Lashaun Finklea, age 19 of Carver Street in Atmore, and India Helena Marcelle Thomas, age 24 of Pensacola, were both charged with felony grand theft in connection.

The women were accused of entering a Walmart store on Mobile Highway, placing a $498 vacuum cleaner in a shopping cart and proceeding to the customer service counter in an attempt to receive a refund. They were also accused of attempting to return a coffeemaker and a knife set shoplifted at an earlier time.

Thomas admitted her role in the theft to an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy, according to an arrest report. She told deputies she attempted the fraudulent returns so that her “child would not do without”. Deputies said Thomas’ child is actually staying with her father in St. Louis.

    All these fools talking about people getting jobs need to realize or remember we live in a country with a 25% unemployment rate.

    There is still a small percentage of America’s population that actually have jobs. If this lady really wanted her child to “not do without” she should get a job. At least her child will be able to “look up to her” with respect
