Deborah Carter Lunsford, a Walgreens employee, ran outside and filmed them driving off. The police got behind the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop near a Shelton Avenue residence, where they identified Moores as the driver. During their investigation, they were advised that about $200 of items were stolen from the location. Moores was detained and Mirandized, under which she stated they had stolen the merchandise because they could not afford it. Moores added that it was a “spur of the moment” thing and not a planned theft. Despite this, officers located a written list detailing what items to steal which matched the recovered goods inside the vehicle. She was then cited for the occurrence. She failed to book by March 27th, so a bench warrant was issued on April 4th. Moores was booked on the citation of theft on April 10th.
