Women charged in ill-timed theft at Target store filled with cops

About 15 police officers were at the Target
on Wednesday night, helping disadvantaged children pick out Christmas
presents for their families
DETROIT – Talk about terrible timing.
"I couldn't believe it," Bloomfield Township Police Sgt. Dan Brown said.
About 15 police officers were at the Target on Wednesday
night, helping 22 disadvantaged children pick out Christmas presents for
their families.
Keiana Wilson, 40, of Burton and Dana Johnson, 18, of Flint were also there.
Brown said store security officers watched on cameras as the women
loaded a cart with two Apple watches, two iPads and a Nintendo gaming
system. At about 7:30 p.m., they walked past the registers without
paying.
They never made it
to the parking lot.
"The loss prevention (officers) actually apprehended them, then they
asked for police assistance," said Sylvan Lake Police Sgt. Michael
Mondeau, who organized the Shop with a Cop event. "The police officers
were only about 20 feet away when they tried to walk out of the store."
The women knew the store was filled with police. Brown said Johnson
even approached an officer earlier in the night, complimenting him about
"how generous the cops were with their time."
"It wasn't 10 minutes later that (the same officer) gets called into
the loss prevention office," where the women were taken after being
caught, Brown said. "She was trying to distract him."
Wilson and Johnson were arraigned in court on retail fraud charges.
Brown said bond was set at $250,000 for Johnson, who has a past criminal
history. Wilson's bond was set at $20,000.
Mondeau said the children who participated in Shop with a Cop were
able to spend in total about $5,000 on their gifts, thanks to donations
from local businesses and community members.
The Keego Harbor Police Department posted a picture of the police
officers and their family members who participated on Facebook. The
caption included words of thanks for the people involved, and the
store.
It also said:
"On a side note, there must have been a special episode of 'Dumb
Criminal Minds' being filmed live as a person tried to shoplift a bunch
of electronics right in front of about 10 cops. They didn't get far.
DON'T TAKE WHAT IS NOT YOURS, it's a simple rule that everyone should
abide by and the world would be a better place."
