Grissoms bound for theft

A woman who claims she was stealing gifts for her grandchildren was bound to the grand jury along with her husband after they were allegedly caught stealing from Wal-Mart.
‘You could hear her opening the boxes to the DVDs. It made a really loud sound,’ testified a Wal-Mart loss prevention officer who was following the suspects, Han and Sherry D. Grissom, inside the store, noting she knew them as potential thieves when she saw them. ‘I’ve seen them before and they would dump merchandise if they thought we were on to them.’
The officer said she watched Mrs. Grissom place the DVDs into her purse before proceeding to the line where she purchased some groceries but did not pay for the DVDs. Once the couple headed for the door, they were stopped near the exit. A search of her purse netted the stolen DVDs and some medicine she had allegedly stolen but security had not seen her take.
‘She said she was getting her grandchildren gifts,’ the loss prevention officer said of Mrs. Grissom’s explanation.
Meanwhile, the defense for Mr. Grissom attempted to get charges dismissed against him noting at no time did he actually conceal any items. However, the security officer labeled him as a lookout, saying he had no choice but to see his wife conceal the merchandise.
Both were bound to the grand jury on theft charges. They will face grand jury action at a later date.
