A 31-year-old man was arrested July 17 for allegedly using a barcode that didn’t match a scooter he was attempting to buy at a local store, admitting he scanned the wrong box to get a lower price, according to a Carson City Sheriff’s Office booking report.
Following an investigation, CCSO deputies arrested Travis Robert Milner for the alleged felony offense, listed in NRS as possess, make, alter, force or counterfeit sales receipt or inventory pricing label.
According to the booking report, CCSO deputies were called to Walmart in the 3200 block of Market Street for a dispute. Dispatch advised a subject was being uncooperative and arguing with employees.
A deputy arrived and met with the surveillance supervisor who advised that a couple came in and were at the self-checkout and bought a scooter. The subject scanned his phone with a barcode that did not belong to the scooter he had in the cart, the report states.
The deputy made contact with the man and asked him what happened. He stated he was at the self-checkout and scanned a barcode on his phone and paid for the item. The deputy told the suspect that it was the wrong barcode for the scooter. The man stated the scooters were in the wrong place on the shelf and that he took a picture of the barcode, the report states.
The deputy asked the man to see the picture he took and he showed it to the deputy, the report states. The officer observed the photo the man took of the barcode, which stated the word “Rival” above the barcode.
The deputy compared the picture to the barcode on the box of the scooter he had. The barcode did not match, and, nowhere on his box did it say “Rival.” The brand of scooter he had was “Segway,” the report states.
The deputy went to the aisle where the scooters were and observed the scooters all in the correct places. The brand of scooter he scanned was on the bottom shelf. The scooter he took was two shelves away and on the middle shelf and was a different brand. The box of the barcode he scanned was teal and white and the box he took was gray and red, the report states.
While speaking, the man stated he scanned the wrong box to intentionally get a lower price, the report states. He was placed under arrest. Bail: $3,000.
