Shoplifting complaint at Dollar General in Appleton City
On April 2, a St. Clair County deputy took a shoplifting complaint from an employee at Dollar General, Appleton City. The employee reported an unknown white male, possibly in his thirties, wearing a dark colored baseball hat, dark colored shirt, and dark colored zip up jacket entered the store with an empty plastic bag.

He wandered around the store for a few minutes picking up various items and placing them in the bag. Items included a black wallet, Tide detergent pods, a cell phone power bank, and a cell phone charger. There was also another unknown item placed in the bag.
A short time later the individual brought the bag up to the cash register and stated he wanted to return the items inside his bag.
The cashier told the individual he did not have the items in the bag when he entered the store.
The man insisted they were and advised employees to look up security footage to prove his story.
The items were left near the register and the video footage was checked. The video allegedly showed the man pull an empty plastic Dollar General bag from a rack and enter the store with the bag in his pocket. It showed the man take items off the shelf and place them into the bag before proceeding to the register.
While employees were viewing the video, the man went back to the counter, pulled the bag from his jacket pocket, filled it with the same items, and walked out of the store without paying for any of the items. A request for prosecution was signed and the value of the items was estimated at $50.
