Couple from Tennessee Arrested and Charged with Stealing from Monticello Walmart

arrested

A couple from Tennessee are now facing charges after law enforcement responded to a shoplifting complaint at the Monticello Walmart Wednesday.

Monticello Police were called after Walmart security witnessed the suspects take a shopping cart of items outside without paying. The couple, 29 year old Caleb Reagan and 20 year old Paige Flowers, fled the Walmart in their vehicle.

Police were able to capture both suspects shortly after and find the stolen items inside the vehicle. Police found the suspects and items after the responding officer got descriptions of the couple and the vehicle they were driving.

Both Flowers and Reagan received a theft charge. Flowers is scheduled to appear in court at a later date due to what law enforcement is labeling “child care issues” while Reagan was placed in the Wayne County Detention Center.
