JACKSON, Mo. (KFVS) – Two Memphis, Tennessee men have been arrested after being accused of shoplifting over the weekend.

According to the probable cause statement, officers responded to the Walmart Supercenter in Jackson, Missouri for a report of theft just after 11:00 pm on Sunday, November 24th.

The suspects, Gary Johnson, 35, and Martin Stringfellow, 41, allegedly stole more than $1,300 worth of merchandise.

When the police arrived, the suspects took off from the scene.

Hours later, officials say a highway trooper followed a vehicle on Interstate 55 that matched the description of the suspects.

Officers were able to arrest the two men in Scott County. They are being held at the Cape Girardeau Jail on $20,000 bond each.
