On Oct. 6, deputies with Constable Mark Herman’s Office responded to reports of a theft at the Target store located in the 6600 block of N Grand Parkway West.
Deputies said a store employee spotted Marton putting merchandise in his infant’s diaper bag and stroller before walking out of the store without purchasing the items.
Deputies located Marton in the parking lot of the store and said they found him in possession of over $434 worth of stolen Nintendo and PlayStation games.
The stolen merchandise was recovered and returned to the store.
