Last Saturday, Paris Police officers responded to a shoplifting complaint in the 3800 block of Lamar Avenue. Wesley Frank Freeland, 51, and Angela Marie Freeland, 42, were detained by loss prevention personnel after being observed "skip scanning" items and failing to pay for them.
Officers arrested the Freeland couple for Class B Theft. A subsequent criminal history check revealed that Wesley Freeland had two prior theft convictions, which elevated his charge to a State Jail Felony. Both suspects were booked without further incident.
