A Michigan woman has been arrested after she allegedly stole several items after not scanning them at a Walmart self-checkout station.

TeddyJo Marie Fliam, 34, is now looking at prison time after she failed to scan all of the items at self-checkout that she picked up in the store. The incident took place at a Walmart located in Alpine County, where loss prevention saw Fliam noticed she wasn’t scanning each item. When security confronted her, she grew upset, denied that she wasn’t scanning every item, and ended up leaving.
