FAIRHOPE, Ala. Police in Fairhope were called to the Walmart store at County Road 48 and State Highway 181 Tuesday for a report of a shoplifting incident.
Police later learned that several people including Jordan Latrell Brantley, 19, of Mobile was involved in a felony theft.
He was arrested and charged with first-degree theft, fleeing and attempting to elude, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
When police arrived at the store, officers were alerted that store security had spotted several suspects from a previous felony theft inside the store.
