A North Platte man is facing a felony charge after he went on a shopping spree at Walmart.  The problem…he forgot to pay.

According to North Platte Police Department Public Information Officer, Rodney Brown, officers responded to Walmart, 1401 South Dewey, at around 11:15 a.m., on Wednesday, to investigate an attempted theft that had occurred on Tuesday.

Store employees alleged that 19-year-old Tyler Henry had entered that store and filled a shopping cart with merchandise, including clothes food and other items which totaled around $2,500.

Henry then reportedly tried to leave the store without paying and was confronted by employees.  When he was unable to produce a receipt, Brown said Henry left the area.

Later on Wednesday, officers learned that Henry had returned to the store.

Officers made contact with Henry and another male subject, 19-year-old Darren Koch, as they were leaving the store.

Both Henry and Koch were found to have stolen clothing which was on their person.

Koch was cited for shoplifting approximately $40 worth of  clothing.  Henry was issued a summons for stealing items valued at around $23.

However, following further investigation, officers deemed there was probable cause to arrest Henry for the attempted theft the day before.

As a result, he was also charged with felony shoplifting.

Henry was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed on the felony charge.
