INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. — The Union County Sheriff's Office said a man and a woman accused of shocking a Walmart greeter in Indian Trail with a stun gun are in custody.
Authorities arrested John Davis, Jr. Tuesday. His alleged accomplice Natasha Hall was taken into custody Thursday.
Surveillance pictures showed man and a woman walking out of the store on Younts Road with a 50-inch TV when the 65-year-old greeter noticed a security sticker on the box and asked for a receipt, officials said.
The employee was OK and did not need to go to the hospital.
Deputies said Davis, 42, pulled out a stun gun, shocked the employee and then ran to the parking lot, where both he and Hall, 38, drove off in a green Nissan Pathfinder.
Investigators used security video and the vehicle's license plate number to identify the attackers.
Authorities have not said where they arrested Davis.
Deputies told Channel 9 that this isn't the first time Davis has tried to commit this type of crime. In July 2015, authorities said he and a different woman walked out of the Lowe's in Indian Trail carrying a cordless drill.
When confronted by a store employee, deputies said Davis pulled out a knife and threatened them. Davis and his accomplice were arrested a short time later in that case.
