On 09/05/2020, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Kasey Sies (2825 Boones Creek Road, Johnson City, TN, 26 years old) and charged her with burglary and theft of property.
At approximately 09:10 p.m., officers were on scene at 3111 Browns Mill Rd. (Walmart) in reference to a trespassing complaint. Officers made contact with Walmart loss prevention associates and were advised Sies had previously been trespassed from the business due to a shoplifting incident. Sies was observed inside the business and was also observed concealing merchandise in her handbag. After Sies concealed the merchandise she passed the final point of sale, without making payment for the concealed merchandise, and exited the business. During the investigation, loss prevention associates provided officers with a notification of restriction from property signed by Sies. It was discovered that Sies had plead guilty to the prior shoplifting incident and is currently trespassed from all Walmart properties. For these reasons officers placed Sies under arrest for burglary and theft of property. Sies was transported to the Washington County Detention Center, where she is being held in lieu of a $3000 bond. Sies has a preliminary court appearance scheduled for 09/08/20 at 1:30 p.m. in Washington County Sessions Court.
