 Louisville,
KY: Man stole $7,900 in items from Target
Louisville Metro Police arrested a man early Friday morning accused of stealing
nearly $8,000 worth of merchandise from two Target locations over a two-month
span earlier this year. John Murphy, 49, of Louisville, entered two Target
stores, one in St. Matthews and one in Springhurst, on four occasions from April
4 to May 24 and stole roughly $7,900 of merchandise. Murphy, along with a
co-defendant, entered the locations, put the merchandise in their cart and
exited the stores without paying, the citation said. They then got into a
waiting vehicle and fled the scene. At least some of the merchandise was sold at

 Nashville,
TN: Lifetime ban doesn't deter Cross Dressing shoplifter from stealing over
$5,000 from Victoria's Secret and Dillards
A
cross-dressing shoplifter with a lifetime ban at area malls has been arrested
for theft again. Officials with Metro Nashville Police said Chimayne Talley
typically dresses as a female when attempting to steal clothes from Nashville
stores. Most recently, he's alleged to have stolen more than $5,000 worth of
merchandise from Victoria's Secret and Dillard's in late August. Detectives said
Talley even posted a photo of the stolen merchandise to his Facebook page to
advertise a yard sale for the items. The 22-year-old suspect has been banned
from both the Opry Mills Mall and Green Hills Mall because of his lengthy
history of theft. The lifetime ban at Opry Mills took effect in 2013.

 Rock
Hill, SC: Police spent 9 hours with a Shoplifter who refused to say where her 2
yr old son was
Rock Hill police officers
spent nine hours trying to locate the son of a woman they charged with
shoplifting, who offered to tell them where he was only if they let her go.
Shelby Estes, 22, was walking through Walmart on Sunday, taking stickers off
items valued at 23 cents and putting them on other items, including children's
clothing and shoes, underwear and shaving razors. Officers arrested her and
placed her in a patrol car. Estes continued to ask to use her cell phone and
"did not want officers searching her purse," police said. Inside Estes' purse,
officers found .99 grams of marijuana in a clear plastic bag and two yellow
pills. While Estes was in the Rock Hill city jail, her family called the police
department and asked where her 2-year-old son was, police said. Estes would not
tell officers where her son was or who had him.
