Police say woman ate dog treats in store and left without paying for them

Police officers say a Florida woman drank Red Bull and ate dog treats at Walmart then left without paying for them. Shawn Michelle Warden, 49, of North Naples was arrested on Sunday. She faces a petty theft charge.

Warden was shopping in the school supply aisle of the store at about 7:15pm. Employees watched Warden open several items in the aisle and place them inside a binder which she placed inside her purse.



She then chose two Red Bull energy drinks, spilling one on the floor before consuming a second one. Employees say Warden then grabbed a bag of rawhide dog treats off a shelf, opened the package and began eating the rawhide chips.

She placed the bag back on the shelf but kept a few in her purse. At the registers, Warden paid for a few items and left before loss prevention officers stopped her. When questioned by deputies, Warden said “I was just putting together the binder for my granddaughter.” The stolen items totalled $75.78.
