Family members concerned about the child told loss prevention officers his uncle likes to dress in drag, and likely is the "woman" they confronted and accused of trying to take $600 in merchandise.
A shoplifting suspect who abandoned a 5-year-old boy getting away from loss prevention officers looked like a woman, but may have, in fact, been a man. Walmart security confronted who they thought was a woman about 3:45 p.m. Thursday, according to the Bartow County Sheriff's Office incident report, attached.
