BUCKHANNON – A Buckhannon woman was arrested after intentionally not scanning items at a self-checkout register at Walmart Thursday.

Cassandra Kelley, 31, was arrested for shoplifting, third offense, a felony, and trespassing in a structure, a misdemeanor, according to the criminal complaint in the Upshur County Magistrate Clerk’s Office filed by investigating officer Cpl. Darin Hissam with the Buckhannon Police Department.

The files says on Thursday, Sept. 12, Kelley allegedly intentionally failed to scan several items of merchandise while she was checking out using a self-checkout aisle at Walmart.
