A trio of suspects were arrested shortly before 9:30 p.m., Sunday, April 14, by officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department following reports of harassment and stalking of employees and patrons at Wal-Mart, 2281 S. Main St.
Justin White, 33, of Bellefontaine, Christina White, 38, of Bellefontaine, and Jorrell Johnson, 20, of DeGraff, each were charged with menacing by stalking following an investigation. Police were dispatched to the retail store on a report of the suspects yelling at and harassing customers and employees and were causing a disturbance.
Upon arrival, officers learned the three individuals had left in a pickup truck. Police were able to identify the truck and initiate a traffic stop in the 1200 block of south Main Street.
In interviews with witnesses and the victim, police were told the victim had been involved in a previous incident with two of the suspects.
That incident led to threats made over social media and eventually to the suspects showing up to the victim’s place of employment and harassing her there. Officers also reviewed surveillance footage that showed the suspects causing issues and being confrontational inside the store.
Johnson and Justin were arrested and lodged in the Logan County Jail. Christina was issued a summons and released from the scene with an accompanying juvenile.
