Police allege a 26-year-old woman caught shoplifting at a Jackson, Michigan Walmart got naked inside the store in an attempt to persuade staff she wasn’t stealing.

walmartWhen that didn’t work, Walmart employees contend the woman “struck a member of loss prevention in the face,” then bit the staffer on the arm, Blackman-Leoni Township Public Safety deputy director Scott Grajewski told MLive.com.

“According to Grajewski, a woman, 26, had pushed a shopping cart full of items into the store’s foyer – past the doorway’s theft-detecting sensors – and then abandoned the cart to retrieve more items from the aisles,” according to the news site. “Walmart’s loss prevention staff subsequently approached the woman, Grajewski said, and being accused of theft, she pulled ‘up her clothing to tell (the staff) she had nothing on her person.’

“The woman ultimately pulled her top up and her pants down,” but resorted to violence when she was blocked from leaving the store.

It’s unclear why MLive did not name the alleged thief.

The woman was arrested by township police and lodged in Jackson County Jail on charges of indecent exposure, malicious destruction of property, assault and unarmed robbery. The victim of the woman’s alleged attack suffered minor injuries and declined medical treatment, according to the news site.

The incident prompted some colorful comments on Facebook.

“Don’t think I would ever want to see anyone that shops at Walmart naked, and I know I wouldn’t want to see anyone that steals from it naked,” Rog Hurd wrote.

“An everyday scenario at Walmart!” Sheila Mueller added. “That’s nothing new.”

“Might need shots after being bit,” Keith Lunn posted.

The episode in Michigan is only the most recent outlandish antics involving Walmart shoplifters in recent months.

Police in Columbia, South Carolina are on the lookout for a shoplifter who allegedly stole $40 worth of meat from a Walmart and bolted out the front door, only to run head first into a SUV in the crosswalk. He shook off the spill and took off, WSOC reports.

Also this month, accused Mesa, Arizona Walmart shoplifter Terrance Crowley was pushing a shopping cart with $2,000 worth of merchandise out of the store when he was confronted by loss prevention staff. He allegedly threatened to kill them with a fillet knife, and they let him go, ABC 15 reports.

Crowley then discovered his getaway vehicle had already gone away, and two police officers were waiting to arrest him instead.

“The two police cars were not in the (parking) lot when (I) entered the store,” Crowley allegedly complained to police after his arrest for aggravated assault and theft.

And in February, another a shoplifter at a Columbus, Ohio Walmart allegedly pulled a gun on loss prevention staffers who caught him stealing a $15 pair of slippers in an altercation caught on camera, My Fox 28 reports.
