Anthony Quantez Morrow

WARSAW — A man from Benton Harbor, Mich., was arrested in the theft of computers from Wal-Mart Supercenter, Warsaw, in December 2014. The computers value totaled $998.

Anthony Quantez Marrow, 31, 460 W. Napier Ave., Benton Harbor, Mich., was booked Wednesday evening, Sept. 16, on a charge of theft, a level 6 felony. He is being held on $5,000 surety bond.

Warsaw Police Officer Ryan E. Coble states, in an affidavit of probable cause, states a security video at Wal-Mart showed a man wearing a black hoodie, later identified as Joseph Hegar, and another man, later identified as Morrow, enter the store. Morrow had a small child with him when he went to the service desk and left the child with an adult female. The video shows Hegar pushing a shopping cart containing a blue tote and another computer under the shopping cart, leaving the store without paying for the computers. The blue tote was found later that night.

The court document states Morrow obtained a shopping card and went to the electronics department placing two computers under a jacket at the bottom of the cart. He then met up with the female and child, continuing to walk around the store for 25 minutes. The couple and child left the store passing all points of pay without attempting to pay for the merchandise.

Police met with Wal-Mart Loss Prevention on Jan. 26, when Rachel Julian advised she saw Hegar load computers into a shopping cart and pass all points of pay without attempting to pay. She confronted Heger, at which time he fled. She stated he was also involved in stealing computers on Dec. 12 with Morrow.

When Hegar was located and arrested, he admitted stealing the computers that day and on Dec. 12 when he was with another individual, named Cortez. He stated they stole four computers on Dec. 12. Police were able to determine Cortez was actually Morrow, who used the alias of Anthony Cortez. Morrow’s photo along with five other individuals were shown to Hegar who identified him as the individual with him on Dec. 12.

Hegar stated he and Morrow each stole two computers, which they sold.
