JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) – A woman is behind bars after police say she stole four slushy machines from multiple stores in Jonesboro to use in her food truck.
Craighead County District Judge Tommy Fowler found probable cause to charge Juquella Kayanna White with two charges of theft, $1,000 or less, Class D felonies.
On May 19, an asset protection employee at the Walmart on 1911 W Parker Rd in Jonesboro found “spider wire” security devices missing from slushy machines in the store, according to the probable cause affidavit.
The worker reviewed the store’s video footage and observed White enter the store and remove the devices from two slushy machines.
White then went to the register, but didn’t scan or pay for the machines, and left the store with them. The items were reported to cost $598.
According to the document, police found White went to another store at 3000 E. Highland on May 5, where she entered empty-handed.
White walked to the small appliances section, grabbed two slushy machines, and walked to the exit.
Employees stopped her at the exit and asked for a receipt, but White told them “the two machines were a return” and proceeded to exit the store. The machines were listed at $699.98.
In a Mirandaized interview, White admitted to stealing the four slushy machines and said “she used them for her food truck to make slushies and sell them.”
White was previously convicted of theft charges in 2021 and 2022. Fowler noted she was already on probation and had failed to appear in court multiple times in the past.
She is being held on a $50,000 cash or surety bond and will be required to wear a GPS monitor if she is released.
White is scheduled to appear in court on July 31.
