Deputies: Black Friday Shoplifter Arrested with Bounty of Electronics

Lisa Forche of Trinity was charged with retail theft after a shopping trip at Walmart.

It looks like an attempt to take advantage of a five-fingered discount on Black Friday went bad for one West Pasco shopper.

Early Friday morning, a Pasco County Sheriff’s deputy noticed Lisa Foche, 47, leaving the Walmart at 8745 State Road 54 in the Trinity area with a bounty of electronics valued at more than $600, according to an arrest report. 

The deputy talked to her, and she said she bought the items at the store but didn’t know where her receipt was. The deputy checked with store management and found that the products were not purchased.

Foche was arrested Friday and charged with retail theft, then later released from custody on $2,000 bond.
