An Osceola County deputy has been relieved of duty after he and his wife were accused of stealing over $150 in merchandise from a St. Cloud Walmart.
According to an incident report from the St. Cloud Police Department, Alex Valentin and his wife were caught on surveillance scanning the items at a self-checkout station and walking out of the store without paying.
A store loss prevention officer did not contact the police department about the incident, as Walmart has said it is against store policy.
