A weekend shoplifting incident in the Upstate turned into a police chase and ended with a crash.
The Pickens Police Department says an officer was in the Walmart parking lot just before 9PM Saturday night and saw a cart full of stolen merchandise being taken to the parking lot.
The items were put into a car and the driver fled the scene. Officers then pursued the suspect vehicle until the driver crashed near the Easley City Limits.
Police say two occupants were in the vehicle. One of them, Latonya Ramsey was arrested and charged with shoplifting. The other occupant was injured in the crash and was transported to the hospital.
There’s been no word on the victim’s condition or additional charges from the incident, as of this time.
