It then drives around the median on the east side before parking at the southeast corner of the Walmart building. The vehicle is seen parked with its headlights on for a period of time and the suspect in this case is seen walking directly in front of this parked vehicle.

The sheriff’s Office also provided three images that show the vehicle and its parking location on the morning of March 12.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill?
