Last Sunday, a routine visit to a local Walmart turned into a criminal case when deputies arrested a woman for theft and other charges. As reported on Constable Mark Herman's Facebook page, Tabatha Ross was caught allegedly trying to lift goods worth $178.00.
The law enforcement officers, answering a call about a shoplifter at the 26900 block of Northwest Freeway location, detained Ross without incident. However, the situation escalated as they found Ross not only with unpurchased merchandise, but also in possession of suspected methamphetamine and multiple identifying documents that didn't belong to her.
According to a post by Constable Herman on the Precinct 4 Facebook page, "Tabatha Ross was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Felony Theft with prior convictions, Possession of a Controlled Substance and Fraudulent Use of Identifying Information." The suspect's bond was set at a steep $17,500.00, associated with the 486th District Court.
