Deputies arrested Victoria Myers on Tuesday, June 7, after employees at a Stafford Walmart became suspicious of the 23-year-old and called police, the Sheriff's Office said. Meyers filled her cart with expensive electronics and hovered around the exits, according to a press release. Deputies were waiting for her when she strolled out of the 217 Garrisonville Road store without paying for the two televisions, earbuds, weed killer, and a container of strawberries in her cart, deputies said. Though, Meyers wasn't alone in this mission.
Deputies said two of her friends — Shai-an Winslow, 20, and Jamadea Poag, 19 — had stolen a television from the store moments earlier. They caught them with the TV in the Washington Square Plaza parking lot.
The Sheriff's Office said they charged Winslow and Poag with theft and conspiracy. They were being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $1,500 bond.
Meyers had outstanding warrants from Stafford and Prince William counties, deputies said. They also found a suspected opiate on her during a search. Along with grand larceny, officials charged Meyers with a felony by prisoner, conspiracy, and possession of a controlled substance, the release said. She was being held at the jail without bond.
Victoria Meyers may be familiar to anyone who follows crime news in Stafford County.
Authorities arrested Meyers in February after deputies said she stole $2,000 worth of merchandise from that same Walmart. On the same day as the theft, Meyers allegedly crashed her gray Mercedes into the back of a school bus before speeding away, deputies aid.
Meyers had bright pink hair at the time, which made it easy for witnesses to describe her to deputies. She made things worse when she went onto a popular Facebook group called "Stafford Talk" to ask for advice on getting the front end of a Mercedes repaired.
It didn't take long for users in that group to piece things together and call the Sheriff's Office.
Major C. Shawn Kimmitz said the department's tip line "blew up" with messages about Meyers, and deputies soon arrested her.
Luckily, there were no injuries in the bus crash.
