FL Woman Rigged Price Tags To Get $1,800 In Electronics For $4, Police Say

It looks like a Florida woman was trying to save some money on her early holiday shopping... but, instead of using coupons, she tried to rig the system. 

Authorities say 25-year-old Cheyenne Amber West tried to sneak more than $1,800 worth of electronics through a Walmart's self-checkout lane by switching the items' price tags with those from clearance items.

West was arrested Monday and now faces felony charges of grand theft and shoplifting.

A loss-prevention officer at the Vero Beach Walmart told a deputy he saw West and another woman select a computer, video game controllers and other merchandise from the electronics department. 

West covered the bar codes with stickers removed from less expensive items that rang up to just $3.70, according to an arrest report.

West was free on $3,000 bail.
