An Ithaca woman was arrested after allegedly stealing merchandise from Walmart in Seneca Falls, despite being barred from the store.
The Town of Seneca Falls Police Department took Makayla J. Walker-Squires, 28, into custody on March 24. Authorities say she was observed placing items into her purse and attempting to leave the store without paying. She also allegedly filled a shopping cart with merchandise and tried to exit without rendering payment before being confronted by staff.
Walker-Squires had previously been ordered not to enter the store but ignored the restriction. She was charged with third-degree burglary, a class D felony, as well as petit larceny and attempted petit larceny, both class A misdemeanors. She was released with an appearance ticket and is scheduled to return to the Town of Seneca Falls court at a later date.
