Arrests Made in Three Separate Walmart Cases Involving Knife Threats and Employee Theft

Store surveillance with witness reports underpinned arrests now moving toward prosecution.

Overview

  • In Beckley, West Virginia, police say Amr Mohamed admitted stealing wallets and phones, demanded $60 to return items, brandished a knife, then surrendered a wallet and was booked on attempted first-degree robbery and weapon charges.
  • In Rolla, Missouri, Samantha F. Feeler, 31, allegedly threatened a gas-station employee with a knife, then confronted a woman in a Walmart parking lot before being arrested inside the store.
  • During the Rolla arrest, officers report Feeler tried to grab an officer’s Taser; she was jailed in Phelps County on a $250,000 bond.
  • In The Villages, Florida, Walmart employee Theresa Lynch Saylor, 59, was arrested after security video showed repeated self-checkout item skipping between October 27 and November 14.
  • Deputies charged Saylor with felony theft based on the footage and released her on $2,000 bail as the investigation continues.
