PALM BAY, Fla. -- A 33-year-old mother was banned from a Brevard County Wal-Mart and will face a judge after police said she used her three children to help bag over $300 in stolen merchandise in a self-checkout lane, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.

Anenide Cherry was charged with retail grand theft over the weekend after Palm Bay police were called to the Wal-Mart located at 1040 Malabar Road to investigate a complaint from the assistant managers, reports showed. She will go to court Aug. 17 on the charge, according to court records.
Palm Bay police said the store's loss-prevention officers spotted Cherry and her children, ages, 6, 12 and 15, in line at the self-checkout counter bagging items that were passed across the conveyor belt without being rung up.
Police said the children assisted their mother in stuffing the unidentified items in the white shopping bags before a loss-prevention officer walked up.
Cherry paid $113 in goods but had a total of $400 worth of stolen merchandise sitting in her cart, police said. Cherry was stopped while a male companion accompanying her bolted out the door, according to reports.
The three children were turned over to their grandmother who lives in Melbourne, reports showed.
Cherry was able to keep the items she paid for but had to sign an affidavit not to enter that Wal-Mart again. After signing the document, she was arrested, police said.
She was booked and taken to the Brevard County Jail in Sharpes.

I think someone else here was right - she is Hatian. Your computer might have the Voodoo virus now.
Ahhhhh! True love!
I am imagining the music to it now. It could be the tune of any old country song.
Now if we made a Hip Hop song about being banned from WalMart, I am sure it would have some colorful language.
I should have scrolled down. You already came up with the Hip Hop version.

I didn’t mean to judge you or anything. I used to work retail and was responsible for watching for shoplifters. We really appreciated it when other shoppers gave us a heads up. Sometimes the ones who are supposed to be in charge of these things in Walmart have their minds elsewhere.
I’m here every night. Tip your waitress and try the veal.
