A Warsaw pair was arrested late Saturday at Walmart after a run-in with the superstore’s loss prevention team led police to a vehicle with finished meth inside.

Around 10:45 p.m. Saturday, Walmart security called in Warsaw police with a man held on a trespassing allegation and a woman on a shoplifting charge.

Lt. Kip Shuter, Warsaw police spokesman, said the man – Matthew Wallace Thompson, 37, of 1135 S. Zimmer Road, Warsaw – had walked into the store against a prior suspension, and was held. Soon after, loss prevention found 41-year-old Deanna Michelle Davis, of 1395 W.

Davis was booked into Kosciusko County Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine and theft. She was fixed a $2,000 bond.
