On August 5, Morris Wyatt, 63, Johnson City, was arrested and charged with identity theft, driving on a suspended license (third offense) and failure to exercise due care.

On August 8, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Jamie Miller, Johnson City, charging her with burglary and theft under $1000.

She was located and taken into custody while fleeing to a nearby parking lot. Shortly thereafter, a Walmart loss prevention employee notified officers that Miller had been charged with shoplifting from Walmart in the past and had been issued a written trespass warning, therefore she was charged with burglary.
