NICEVILLE — A man and a woman were arrested after trying to steal several items from Walmart, and told police they had second thoughts about stealing the items but continued to do so anyway.

The 32-year-old man and 28-year-old woman entered the Walmart on John Sims Parkway and placed several items in a backpack, including gel pens, Bluetooth speakers and a cell phone repair kit, according to the Niceville Police Department.

The couple then passed all points of sale without paying for the items, which were worth a total of $130.91, and were stopped by an asset protection manager before leaving.

The couple told police they intended to steal the items because they were homeless, but did have second thoughts about stealing. However, they decided to continue to leave the store without paying.

They were both charged with misdemeanor shoplifting. The man admitted to having a meth pipe in his pocket and was also charged with drug equipment possession.
