MONTICELLO, NY — On January 28, sheriff’s deputies arrested Michael C. Carson, 30, of Loch Sheldrake, after a foot pursuit that brought a large police response to the Monticello area.
At about 4 p.m, Carson was spotted by Walmart security entering the store and picking up an X-box game controller from a shelf. He then went to the return desk with the item he had just selected and produced a phony sales receipt, claiming to have purchased the item previously.
He was attempting to get cash for the X-box when he was approached by store security. Carson fled the scene on foot with security in pursuit. The sheriff’s office, Monticello, Fallsburg and state police were involved in the pursuit. Carson was eventually taken into custody on Old Liberty Road in the vicinity of the Delano Trailer Park. Deputies filed a preliminary charge of petit larceny against the defendant. He was sent to the Sullivan County Jail in lieu of $1,500 bail. Deputies are investigating his connection to other recent thefts from Walmart.
