She was one of three other persons who worked together to accomplish the theft. They would select items and exit without paying at a cash register, but then present a forged receipt to the doorman which appeared to show that they had paid. The loss prevention team was alert to their actions and pursued the suspects immediately. They approached the truck. There were three people in the vehicle which left the parking lot in a hurry. Ultimately, the vehicle was stopped in Addy. A search revealed numerous receipts, indicating the ability to produce receipts. The receipt transaction number used in the present theft had a transaction number for the same time period, but was actually for other merchandize. Ms. Bordelon was the driver. Sentencing will June 29.

It is suspected that these people have used this same scheme in other locations, particularly targeting Wal-Mart stores.
