Shoplifting Suspects Busted A Day Later
BROOKSVILLE - A second try at a semi-successful TV caper wound up costing three suspects a shoplifting charge.
On Wednesday, the suspects reportedly walked out of the Wal-Mart on Cortez Boulevard with a television, then sold it to a person in the parking lot of a nearby liquor store, a report shows.
A deputy was called to intervene after an argument broke out between the seller and buyer. He was certain the TV had been stolen, but without a recent theft reported from Wal-Mart could not prove it.
Shortly after midnight Thursday, the trio tried to walk out of the same Wal-Mart with a TV but was stopped at the door, a report states. The deputy returned to the Wal-Mart around 10 a.m. and said he reviewed surveillance footage of the original theft.
Charged with felony shoplifting are Marlene Dickens, 40, Anthony Petrosky, 44 and Donald Verrecchio, 40.
