On November 20, 2024, loss prevention at a Walmart in Houston County, Georgia contacted police after monitoring a woman switching price tags for over six hours. The suspect - Amanda Barber - methodically removed 99-cent stickers from socks and applied them to watches and adult clothing. When officers made contact, she admitted the behavior, then fled. That decision transformed a manageable charge into a 10-year prison sentence.
