Stafford Man Admits To Riding Off With Electric Shopping Cart: Sheriff

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — A 58-year-old Stafford man was charged with grand larceny, after riding off with one of the electric shopping carts from a Fredericksburg discount department store on Monday, according to the Stafford County Sheriff's Office.

A deputy responded around 2:33 p.m. to the Walmart at 11 Village Parkway to investigate a larceny report. Once there, he learned that a man had absconded with an electric shopping cart, according to the incident report.

Reviewing the store's surveillance video, the deputy recognized the suspect and knew his address, according to the report. The deputy went to the suspect's home, where the man admitted taking the cart, which was charging at an adjacent residence.

The deputy arrested Kenneth Limerick Sr., charging him with felony grand larceny, according to the report. He was then held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.

Limerick was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday morning in Stafford General District Court, according to court records. No information was available when his preliminary hearing will take place.
