A diaper-stealing caper ended in the arrest of a Vicksburg man Tuesday, police crime analyst Suzan Ebeling said today.

Shawn Russell, 32, 579 Burnt House Road, was observed leaving Wal-Mart SuperCenter at 2150 Iowa Ave. with two packs of diapers for which he had not paid, Ebeling said.

The store’s loss prevention officer tried to stop him, but Russell drove away. Police were notified and arrested him on U.S. 61 South.

Russell was charged with third-offense shoplifting, a felony. Bond was set at $5,000, and he remained in jail this morning.

In the end, the diapers were returned to Wal-Mart.
