Sentenced: Florida Shoplifting Suspect Claiming To Play Game At Walmart: ‘It's Really Fun'

[Sugar Cookie]

Amber McCann, 30, of Sanford, Florida, is accused of taking items from Walmart without paying for them.

McCann is alleged to have put the stolen items into a vehicle and ran away when she noticed someone was watching her.

The store’s loss prevention officer said she stole about $1,030 worth of merchandise.

When questioned, investigators say McCann admitted to taking a loaded cart full of stolen items to a car, but claimed it was a random vehicle she found. She also told detectives she placed her purse inside the random vehicle when she saw deputies arriving.

McCann went on to tell deputies that she was playing a game called "21" where someone grabs as much merchandise from a store and walks out without paying for the items while trying not to get caught.

Once McCann was secured by deputies, she changed her story and said the car was not a random vehicle. Instead, she said it was a rental car that belonged to her boyfriend. In bodycam video, McCann can be heard telling deputies that her boyfriend doesn't know that she steals. She added that her boyfriend is older than her and wouldn’t be playing shoplifting games.

While removing the stolen merchandise, deputies said they smelled a clear and distinct odor of marijuana emanating from within the vehicle.

McCann was charged with grand theft, possession of marijuana, possession of hashish, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of Alprazolam, and trafficking of methamphetamine.
