  • Man Named Speedy Gonzalez Arrested After Stealing Over $20K Worth Of Items From Walmarts Across Georgia

    Man Named Speedy Gonzalez Arrested After Stealing Over $20K Worth Of Items From Walmarts Across Georgia

    A man named Speedy Gonzalez, 40, was apprehended for allegedly stealing over $20,000 worth of goods from Walmarts in northern #Georgia. He reportedly used a cheap container to hide expensive items at the self-checkout, scanning only the larger, inexpensive item while concealing the smaller, pricier ones inside, according to the New York Post. 

    Kevin Holbrook, a Gainesville Police Lt., said “Nicotine, gum, diabetic strips, you know, high-priced items, although smaller in nature… He would then pick out an item from the shelf, such as a trash can. In one instance, it was a mailbox… Then take all those items, stick it into the box with the larger item, and then take that, pay for it, and walk out of the store.”

    Gonzalez’s method let him take more items than he paid for, but officials apprehended him 10 days after a theft in March. He is suspected of over 20 thefts across several Georgia counties. He resides northeast of Atlanta and he was booked into Hall County jail and faces federal charges.

    This isn’t Gonzalez’s first rodeo with the law. Back in April 2020, he was caught in Gwinnett County for allegedly stealing checks from a mailbox. He then tried to use those checks to buy $3,000 worth of items at a nearby Home Depot.

  • Florida Middle School Principal Arrested at Walmart for Trying Shoplifting Tactic He Claims His Friends Told Him Would Work: ‘I Did Something Dumb’

    Florida Middle School Principal Arrested at Walmart for Trying Shoplifting Tactic He Claims His Friends Told Him Would Work: ‘I Did Something Dumb’

    A Florida middle school principal, Gregory Lewis, is under fire after being caught shoplifting at a Walmart in Winter Haven. The man who leads Bok Academy North in Lake Wales was arrested Saturday after attempting to steal nearly $40 worth of goods using a common self-checkout trick known as ‘skip scanning’.

    According to authorities, Lewis tried to conceal higher-priced items like bacon, light bulbs, and frozen shrimp by placing disposable plates on top of them to avoid scanning them. The total value of the stolen merchandise came to $37.45.

    When confronted by police, Lewis confessed without resistance, saying he had heard about the tactic from friends and wanted to try it out. “I did something dumb today, and I understand it,” he admitted to an officer wearing a body camera.

    Following his arrest, Lewis was charged with petit theft and booked into the Polk County Jail, according to WFLA. He has since been placed on administrative leave while the school district conducts an internal review.

    The store did not press charges. However, the Hyogo Prefectural Board of Education fired Gregory Lewis for “gross misconduct unbecoming of an educational public servant.” Additionally, he will not be getting his retirement pay, which is about $133,000.

    How? Walmart Employee Discovers Daughter’s Charred Body Inside Bakery Oven After Frantic Search

    The tragic death of 19-year-old Gursimran Kaur, a Walmart employee in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has sent shockwaves through her community.

    On October 19, Gursimran was found inside the walk-in bakery oven at the Walmart where she worked, Fortune reports.

    Her mother, who also worked at the store, had become concerned when she couldn’t locate her daughter for over an hour and her phone was unreachable. After alerting store staff and searching, her mother tragically found her remains in the oven, reportedly alerted by an unusual leakage from the appliance.

    Originally from India, Gursimran and her mother had moved to Canada within the last three years. Known for her warm spirit and aspirations, Gursimran’s death has deeply impacted Halifax’s Sikh community. The Maritime Sikh Society has rallied around the family, helping with funds for her final rites and coordinating support for her father and brother to travel to Canada. The GoFundMe campaign has raised over $130,000 in donations.

    Investigations into the incident are ongoing, with local authorities and Nova Scotia’s Department of Labour involved, while the store remains closed.

  • Sex Trafficker Left Girl At Walmart For Not Earning Him Enough Money After Making Her Sleep With His Brother and 20 Other Men

    Sex Trafficker Left Girl At Walmart For Not Earning Him Enough Money After Making Her Sleep With His Brother and 20 Other Men

    A Texas man is accused of making an underage girl, who had escaped from a group home, have sex with 20 different people, including his brother, who is referred to as

    “Big Face Tulu,”

    per Law & Crime.

    Tyrone Berry, 58, faces charges of human trafficking and sexual assault of a child. In June 2019, deputies were called to a Walmart in Houston about a missing girl, reports state. She later told detectives that she had run away from the group home and ended up at a $39.99/ night hotel called North Villa Inn, where she met Berry. He allegedly forced her to

    “work”

    in exchange for food. The complaint states that Berry also worked at the hotel.

    The girl told authorities that Berry would arrange

    “dates”

    with men and

    “tell her what to do.”

    The girl said she had to have sex with men for money, but she never received any cash; instead, Berry gave her food. He took her to his home and his brother Otis Berry aka

    “Big Face Tulu’s”

    recording studio, where she was allegedly forced to have sex with Otis and 20 other men, while also being given drugs.

    Suspects Arrested

    Detectives gathered evidence, and Tyrone Berry admitted to talking with her. She identified him in a photo lineup. He was arrested in November 2019, but the case was dropped in March 2022 because prosecutors felt they couldn’t prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors filed the charges again last week, and police arrested him. 

    They also got an arrest warrant for 54-year-old Otis Berry in November 2019 for sexual assault of a child, forcing prostitution, and human trafficking. He was on the run for two months before he gave himself up to the authorities in January 2020, according to Houston NBC affiliate KPRC. In an interview, he said his brother was to blame for his troubles.

    “I’m really anxious to get my name cleared, and my story heard,”

    he said.

    Tyrone Berry remains in the Harris County Jail with a $50,000 bond. The Texas sex offender website shows that he was convicted of sexually assaulting a child in 1994 and 2006.

    Walmart Customer Calls In Bomb Threat Using Cellphone He Found In The Bathroom, Police Say

    A Florida man has been arrested after allegedly calling in a bomb threat from a phone he found in a Walmart bathroom, as reported by Law & Crime. The suspect has been identified as 28-year-old Coty J. Clements. 

    The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office received the call, in which the suspect sinisterly said

  • Texas Man Claims Walmart Mistook Him For Shoplifter, Demands $100 Million and A Lifetime Of Free Goods, Lawsuit Claims

    Texas Man Claims Walmart Mistook Him For Shoplifter, Demands $100 Million and A Lifetime Of Free Goods, Lawsuit Claims

    Roderick Jackson, a resident of Waskom, Texas, has filed a second lawsuit against Walmart for $100 million in compensation or unlimited free shopping at any Walmart store for the rest of his life, per the NY Post.

    This recent complaint follows Jackson’s initial lawsuit, filed in 2021, which involved the same incident and circumstances as his current claim against the retail giant. The incident in question occurred at a Walmart store in Omaha, Nebraska, in March 2021. Jackson’s complaint states that he is suing Walmart due to

    “false pretense of shoplifting.”

    He also states he is

    “sewing [sic] for Civil Rights violations based on race/color.”

    Neither of the complaints went into further detail. 

    On top of the cash and shopping spree, Jackson is also demanding that Walmart foot the bill for all the legal fees tied to the lawsuit.

    A Walmart spokesperson told Fox News Digital,

    “We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Mr. Jackson’s allegations are almost identical to a lawsuit he filed against our company in 2021 that was dismissed. We intend to defend the company against the allegations once we have been properly served and will quickly ask the court to dismiss any claim that are without merit,”

    In the 2021 lawsuit, Jackson filed a complaint against Walmart, accusing them of

    “racial profiling and wrongful accusation”

    that resulted in his arrest. According to the complaint, Jackson suffered

    “emotional stress and pain from the handcuffs.” 

    Initially, Jackson asked for a whopping $100 million and

    “a significant credit for future shopping,”

    but later revised the complaint to seek $175 million in damages. However, the case was dismissed that year as Walmart argued that Jackson had not properly served them and his claims were baseless.

  • Woman Goes Viral After Documenting Herself Working At Target and Walmart For Free Including Cleaning Bathrooms, Says It Was The ‘Best Day Ever’

    Woman Goes Viral After Documenting Herself Working At Target and Walmart For Free Including Cleaning Bathrooms, Says It Was The ‘Best Day Ever’

    A woman is gaining attention for her kind acts, sharing videos of giving money and cleaning public bathrooms joyfully.

    In a video that gained millions of views and tons of engagement, the Instagram user, Ugh_Madison, wrote in the caption of one of her videos,

    “I worked at a random Target for free.” 

    Despite not being a Target employee, the woman worked diligently for 8 hours, going the extra mile to assist customers. The woman cleaned the bathrooms, restocked shelves, helped customers, and even paid for their items after giving a few lucky customers $20 gift cards. She mentioned that she seamlessly blended as she wore a red top, resembling the official Target uniform, without being questioned by the actual employees or security. 

    She said about Target’s restroom,

    “The bathroom was really dirty.”

    “But don’t worry. I cleaned it,”

    Madison continued. 

    However, this isn’t the first time the viral sensation has stepped in to do God’s work.

    Last month, a video of her committing the same act in Walmart gained much attraction. 

    She also decorated the restrooms of Popeyes and Taco Bell with holiday-themed elements. However, she admitted to being kicked out of those fast-food chains.

    Although many people on social media appreciated her kind deeds, some questioned her choice of supporting major corporations instead of non-profit organizations in need of assistance.

    One Instagram user said,

    “Why are people doing this for massive corporations and not like. Food pantries? Free clinics?” 

    Someone replied to the comment saying,

    “Cause the end game is social klout, ads, revenue it’s sickness.”
