PINE TOWNSHIP \u2014 An Erie man is accused of stealing more than a thousand dollars\u2019 worth of merchandise from the Grove City Walmart.<\/p>\n
Ryan Scott Butcher, 35, is charged with retail theft. A court date has not been set as of Thursday, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
The charge stems from an incident that occurred on Dec. 13, 2025, at the store, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
Butcher can allegedly be seen on security video entering the Walmart around 6:26 p.m. and placing 13 items from multiple departments into a shopping cart.<\/p>\n
Butcher then left the store without attempting to pay. The total value for the stolen items was $1,294.<\/p>\n
Police eventually identified Butcher and found there were several other pending cases in Erie County where Butcher was either charged or is the lead suspect in retail thefts.<\/p>\n
There were also several bench and arrest warrants out for Butcher. The Grove City police then issued their own warrant for Butcher\u2019s arrest, the complaint states.<\/p>\n
