| On December 27, 2016 at approximately 4:00 AM, an unidentified white male suspect shoplifted a felonious amount of merchandise from Wal-Mart, located at 2500 West Stone Drive in Kingsport. The suspect selected over $1,200 in merchandise and proceeded to surreptitiously leave the store through a fire exit with no attempt to pay for the items.
The suspect was wearing long baggy shorts, a green and gray plaid shirt over what appears to be a hooded sweatshirt, and white high-top athletic shoes. He was captured on store surveillance cameras, and photos taken from that footage have been included in this release. A clip of the actual footage has been made available for viewing on the K.P.D.
