New retail theft task force makes first arrest in Ohio
(WKBN) – A new task force in Ohio aimed at cutting down organized retail theft made its first arrest. Read next: Fugitive of the Week known to be in local area A man and woman from the Toledo area were arrested in May following a tip from a Walmart there about gift card theft. An investigation revealed that the pair bought gift cards with credit card information from a victim in Florida. When they were arrested, police found multiple gift cards and also seized a laptop and several other payment cards. These types of crimes, along with organized groups stealing large amounts of merchandise, are being targeted by the Ohio Regional Retail Crime Task Force through the recently enacted Fight Organized Retail Crime and Empower Law Enforcement Act, which targets theft rings with stiffer criminal penalties. The law creates a new felony offense of organized retail theft, with penalties escalating based on the value of the stolen merchandise. It also enhances penalties for repeat offenders, setting a minimum fourth-degree felony charge for thefts committed by individuals who have a felony theft conviction within the previous three years. Attorney General Dave Yost says Ohio businesses lose upwards of $2 to $3 billion annually in organized retail theft. The task force works with law enforcement statewide.

Former jail employee and girlfriend of escaped New Orleans inmate arrested in connection with case
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Officials with the U.S. Marshals have announced the arrest of a woman in connection to the May breakout at the Orleans Parish jail in New Orleans. U.S. Marshals officials said Darriana Burton, 28, was arrested in New Orleans on Monday, June 9. She had been wanted on a warrant for conspiracy to commit simple escape, a felony, from the Louisiana Attorney General's Office. Burton is a former jail employee and the girlfriend of Derrick Groves, one of two inmates who is still at large after the escape, the Associated Press reported. The other at-large escapee has been identified as Antoine Massey. Escaped inmate known as 'Devil in the Ozarks' found a 'short distance' from prison: sheriff Groves, Massey, and eight other inmates escaped from the Orleans Parish Prison on May 16 by yanking open a faulty cell door, removing a toilet, crawling through a hole, and scaling a barbed wire fence in the early morning hours when a lone guard left to get food. Two days before the escape, Groves made a FaceTime video call to Burton using a jail-issued iPad, authorities said. During that call, she helped him speak with a man whom police did not identify. The conversation was 'intentionally vague' and appeared to coordinate communication on other, unmonitored lines, according to a police affidavit for Burton's arrest. The exchange showed Burton's direct role in helping with Groves' escape, police said in the arrest affidavit. Burton and Groves 'were in an on-again, off-again relationship for three years,' dating back to the time when she was still working in the jail, authorities said. Burton began working at the jail in 2022, but was fired after being 'arrested and charged for bringing contraband into the jail and malfeasance in office in 2023,' the attorney general's office explained. The attorney general's office reported that the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office refused the charges in 2024. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
