Fraud, larceny and trespassing

On Thursday around 11 a.m., Master Officer G. Morris charged Stephanie Anna Clewis, 35, of Roanoke Rapids, with obtaining property by false pretense.

He charged Marcus Lee Wyche, 32, of Roanoke Rapids, with larceny, possession of stolen goods and served him an outstanding order for arrest.

Garee Cordell Carr, 29, of Woodland, was charged with trespassing.

The charges stem from a call about a person removing items from Walmart without paying for them and then returning them for a refund.  

When Morris responded to Walmart, loss prevention told him Wyche took the items from the store and Clewis returned them for a refund.

Carr had previously been banned from the store.

Clewis received a $1,000 bond; Wyche a $4,000 bond and Carr a $500 bond. They all have October 4 court dates.
