On September 19, 2024, Pullman Police were dispatched to Walmart, where loss prevention personnel had detained 2 women accused of shoplifting. Security cameras observed the women pickup approximately $50.00 of acne medication, open the packaging, conceal the products in their handbags, and then discard the packaging. Both women received citations for theft 3rd degree and were released. They also received lifetime bans from all Walmart stores in the United States. Their cases are still open and all suspects are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
