Fraud, larceny and trespassing

He charged Marcus Lee Wyche, 32, of Roanoke Rapids, with larceny, possession of stolen goods and served him an outstanding order for arrest.
Garee Cordell Carr, 29, of Woodland, was charged with trespassing.
The charges stem from a call about a person removing items from Walmart without paying for them and then returning them for a refund.
When Morris responded to Walmart, loss prevention told him Wyche took the items from the store and Clewis returned them for a refund.
