On January 11, 2019, Officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Tina Funderberg, a 33 year old W/F, of 513 Campbell Cir, Chuckey TN, and charged her with Theft under $1000, Criminal Trespass and Identity theft.
The arrest stemmed from an incident in which Ms. Funderberg was apprehended by Wal-Mart Loss Prevention after concealing an item, valued at $7, in her purse and exiting the store without making any attempt to pay. She provided her sister-in-law’s driver’s license and name when identifying herself to Loss Prevention and police. The false identity she provided was banned from all Wal-Mart stores due to a lengthy history of shoplifting, and was wanted on an outstanding warrant for Violation of Probation. When she was made aware of the warrant, she admitted to lying about her identity and provided her real identity. She was found to also be banned from all Wal-Mart stores due to a lengthy history of shoplifting, however no outstanding warrants were found.
Ms. Funderberg was then arrested and transported to the Washington County Detention Center, where she is being held in lieu of a $12,000 bond awaiting arraignment.
