A Summerfield woman was arrested for fraud after allegedly putting cheap clothing tags on expensive items to avoid paying full price at Walmart.
A deputy responded to Walmart, located at17961 S U.S. Hwy. 441, Summerfield at 8:30 p.m. Monday, according to an arrest report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. Upon arrival, he learned 38-year-old Sarah Elizabeth Robinson was suspected of ringing up merchandise with pricetags of much cheaper merchandise.
The deputy walked into the store to see a loss prevention employee talking to Robinson in the entryway. She was pushing a shopping cart with many bagged items inside. The employee advised that many of these items were scanned as other, much cheaper items, the report said.
The loss prevention associated took out a Hyper Tough saw, which costs about $70, and showed the deputy a $2.98 clothing tag that Robinson had attached and scanned instead. There were four to five more things which had cheaper clothing tags attached to them, as well. The deputy asked Robinson to show him the receipt, and she complied, the report said…
