Crystal L. Scherer, 53, of 325 S. Park St., was charged Wednesday with theft.
Officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department met with store security staff at Walmart, 2281 S. Main St., and they provided information that Scherer, a former employee, allegedly stole more than $680 in merchandise on six occasions.
They suspected she committed theft on 12 occasions, but stopped investigating after documenting six instances in which Scherer would not self-scan all items.
Officers met with Scherer at her residence and she reportedly admitted to the thefts.
She was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
• Daniel L. Castle, 20, of 405 Seymour St., was lodged Wednesday on a warrant for failure to appear.
