A DeKalb County shopper was caught ridin’ dirty after police say he tried to abscond from an area Walmart with shoplifted goods while driving a motorized cart.

According to FOX 5 Atlanta, Dunwoody police arrested the suspect at approximately 10 a.m. just outside the Walmart on Ashford Dunwoody Road. As it turns out, the suspect was wanted on a previous DeKalb County shoplifting charge, while authorities in Marietta had a warrant out for him on aggravated assault.

Dunwoody police have identified the suspect as Atlanta resident Michael Waller, 49. He was transported, in a vehicle quite a lot faster than a motorized cart, to the DeKalb County jail.
