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.

When I saw the self checkout, I knew it would be problems for thieves. In one way, I think the stores deserve it because they are trying to get away with not having to pay employees. Ok, not ‘deserve’ maybe, but at least need a wake up call. I bet hundreds of thousands walk out their door every day. But yet when I go through with a grocery buggy full of stuff, I get stopped and the lady looks at my receipt. As if she can use Xray vision to see the 150 items in my bags.
Just stupid and stupidity doesn’t pay. We have to pay for their stupidity so they can save a few bucks on work comp and salary.
Yeah, he was just trying to get the door for her and decided to go for a jog.
You know you’ve hit rock bottom when you aren’t welcome at Wal-Mart anymore.
There's gotta be a song hidden in this somewhere. If not, there should be.
Yup, here’s the title:
“You know you’ve hit rock bottom, when Wal-Mart says Goodbye”
” This is my walkie-talkie.There are many like it but this one is mine.”
Please stop! Yer cracking me up!! LOL!!!
Oh she came on in
with her three kids
looking for a deal
But how was I
to know that she
was teaching them to steal
(chorus)
It’s a sad sad day
in her life, everything
began to die
‘cause you know you’ve
hit rock bottom,
when Wal-Mart says Goodbye
Oh yes, these people (the looters) will stuff a comforter package with goods, buy the blanket, take the goods and and return it the next day for a refund.
Pretty soon everything will have RFIDs on it, and that exit alarm will be going off on everyone exiting the store (like they do on Razor Blades now)
“We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone” is a fundamental property right of business owners whether they are corporations or sole proprietors.
Walmart is not open to the “public”, they are open to their customers. A public park is open to the public.
Thanks, that picture caused my computer to BSOD...
You’re on FR during a meeting? LOL
So how are things in DC, Senator Cyrano?
You’re in Nashville, right? ;-) Sounds like the makings of a hit to me!
All concepts that completely go over the head of nanny statists.
What we need is some/more “politically correctness prevention officers”. Notice how it’s not called what it is.....’theft prevention’?
You should have reported what you saw. Please don’t think I am judging, but these stores rely on other shoppers to help them also. I just left Walmart and reported a man who was trying to stuf two movies and a bottle of coke in his pockets.
Now it’s three years later
and she’s in a prison cell
there was no way for her to know
she’d be doing time in hell.
She has a new tatoo that says
I’m Shenequa’s brand new ho.
And this all happened because
she got caught by the PO PO
(chorus)
It’s a sad sad day
in her life, everything
began to die
‘cause you know you’ve
hit rock bottom,
when Wal-Mart says Goodbye
Perhaps they’ll become senators or congressmen; at the very least, mayors of major cities.
Excellent. We gotta start writing for Paul Shanklin (Rush’s parody singer guy)...
