Dustin D. Stevens, 32, of 5284 County Road 12, Rushsylvania, was charged with theft Thursday after he attempted to leave Wal-Mart, 2281 S. Main St., with a cart full of groceries around 7:30 p.m.
Store employees called for officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department when they observed the suspect loading grocery items into his own bags as he traveled about the store.
Officers arrived as he was led back into the store by employees.
He appeared to be under the influence of some substance, officers report, as he exhibited erratic movements, could not hold still, twisted his wrists against handcuffs and he had abnormally large pupils.
He was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
The groceries were valued at $281.
