Woman Banned for Life from Walmart Arrested while Shopping for Cosmetics

A Niagara Falls police officer was working secondary employment at Walmart around 3pm on April 12th when he was advised by asset protection that a woman previously trespassed from the store was currently shopping.

The officer confirmed that the woman was trespassed for life through NFPD’s Impact System. He then went and confronted the woman.

Upon approaching the woman in the makeup aisle and asking for her name, the officer noted that she was “visibly nervous” and “both of her hands were shaking” as she looked through her book bag for identification. The woman stated she had no ID nor any credit/debit cards with her name on it.

The officer asked what her name was and she said “Amber Washington,” which was a fake name. The woman was placed under arrest without incident.

Dispatch advised that the woman had an active warrant out of North Tonawanda for narcotics. North Tonawanda Police responded to Walmart and took custody of the woman.

She was issued an appearance ticket returnable at Niagara Falls City Court for the trespass.

No further information is available at this time.
