Retail theft
A Shawano teen is facing a felony charge of retail theft for shoplifting numerous items from Walmart earlier this month.
Brandon M. Boogren, 18, could face 3½ years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.
Police responding to a shoplifting call on Oct. 7 at Walmart, 1244 E. Green Bay St., found Boogren in the store with a concealed BB gun he had taken. He also had other items that he had already smuggled to his car, including a scope, air pistol and BBs, according to the complaint.
The complaint alleges Boogren also damaged a camera while trying to cut it out of its case.
Boogren posted a $200 bond and was due back in court for an adjourned initial appearance Monday.
