Pikeville Woman Charged With Theft

KENTUCKY...
A western Kentucky prosecutor says a woman charged with theft by deception is suspected of stealing more than $100,000 from stores in Kentucky and elsewhere. Kentucky State Police arrested 44-year-old Linda Music of Pikeville on April 28 in Floyd County on a theft charge from Murray. Commonwealth's Attorney Mark Blankenship said Music went to stores and switched the scanner bar codes, hoping checkout clerks wouldn't notice the lesser prices she was paying for expensive items. The Calloway County charge is for theft above $10,000. Music waived her right to be charged by a grand jury and is expected to be arraigned in Murray next month. A GPS device found in Music's car had bookmarks for Lowe's stores in 14 states.
