CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — A suspected shoplifter who previously received a ban from Walmart was arrested Wednesday after walking out of the local store with over $600 worth of merchandise, only to complain of chest pains when officers caught up to him nearby. The incident began on October 7, 2026, when Pickaway County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Walmart on South Court Street following a report of a theft in progress. Store loss prevention officers reported that a male suspect—later identified as Jeffery L. Starkey —was concealing items inside a backpack and refused to stop when confronted after passing all points of sale. Cornered Near Marshalls Circleville Police Department officers stepped in to assist with the search and located Starkey shortly after in front of the nearby Marshalls store on Summit Avenue.
