According to the booking report, a Carson City Sheriff's Office deputy was in the area of the Walmart parking lot at 3200 Market Street. Three Walmart employees waved the deputy down and advised they observed the woman shove merchandise into a backpack. The employees pointed out the suspect, who was rapidly walking away from them toward the area of North Roop Street and Hot Springs Road.
The deputy turned his patrol unit around and caught up with the suspect, activating his unit's emergency tone and red and blue emergency lights to alert the suspect. The suspect ignored the alert and continued walking. The officer instructed the suspect to drop her backpack, which she did, according to the report.
