Man Steals From Walmart By Faking Dog Food Return, Report Says
GARNER – A 32 year-old man was arrested after he reportedly tried to return a bag of dog food for a refund at Walmart, even though he never paid for it. Johnston County deputies arrested Nicholas Ryan Burgess of Rosie Lane, Dunn on January 26th around 1:30pm after responding to Walmart at 5141 NC Highway 42 West, Garner in the Cleveland community.
Deputies allege Burgess entered the store and removed a bag of dog food, valued at $29.66, from the shelf. He took the dog food to the customer service desk and asked for a refund. He also produced a prior receipt for an identical dog food purchase at a Wayne County Walmart.
Burgess was charged with a felony count of obtaining property by false pretense. He was held under a $10,000 secured bond.

Another example of JoCo criminal intelligence, or should I say lack thereof 🤔
A liberal trying to tell others about intelligence, how’s it been DanM? You move back up North yet?
Did you read the article? The guy is from Dunn. Dunn is in Harnett County. Just because something happened somewhere does not mean that the indiviual(s) is from that area.
FTD another example of your intelligence and education, or lack thereof. Keep trying and one day you might get the facts right about a topic, maybe.
Hey genius, let’s take a look at your intelligence. Dunn, which is this criminals hometown, is in Harnett county.
But the crime happened in JoCo, so that means he’s an unintelligent JoCo criminal
FTD Try harder. You proved yourself wrong with your initial post. Can’t explain yourself with more posts and far left reasoning.
@FBJ I don’t have to explain JoCo stupidity, it’s evident everywhere in JoCo
OK, guys fight nice. We can all agree this perp wasn’t a rocket scientist.
Charged with a felony ? Maybe I misread the information in this article. The way I read it was that he removed a bag of dog food valued at $29 from the show and tried to return it. So did he accomplish the return? Did he actually obtain the property by false pretense? my understanding is that he “attempted ” to obtain property by false pretense. And does property valued at $29 constitute a felony now?
I imagine his attorney is going to have fun with this one .
I believe Mr. Shug is very well educated in N.C. Law. False Pretenses and Cheats. § 14-100. Obtaining property by false pretenses. If the value of the money, goods, property, services, chose in action, or other thing of value is one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or more, a violation of this section is a Class C felony.
I beleive Mr. Shug is very tuned into the N.C. Laws::::::::::::;;:;::::::::::::::::::::::: False Pretenses and Cheats. § 14-100. Obtaining property by false pretenses.

Theoretically, he never obtained anything since he never left the store…..
