A $2,500 secured bond was set Friday for a Pine Bluff man accused of shoplifting.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge 76-year-old Ivie Moore with Felony Theft of Property.
Reading from an affidavit, the Prosecuting Attorney said on June 3rd, Officer Sierra Johnson responded to Food Mart located at W 28th Ave. An employee advised that Moore had been coming to the store recently to steal merchandise, and this time they finally caught him.
Officer Johnson met with security to review footage of Moore stuffing roughly $85 worth of merchandise into his jacket and walking out of the store.
Moore has previously been convicted of shoplifting offenses in the past 10 years, once in June 2018 and again in July 2019. He has 4+ prior convictions.
He is scheduled to return to court.
