Lincoln County Sheriff Curt Folger investigated a report of two men possibly shoplifting in Wal-Mart and ended up arresting Jeff Denson, 33, and Ricky Byrd, 23, both of Lincoln County.
A news release from the sheriff's department said when Folger arrived at the store one of the suspects had driven away, and Folger followed the suspect to Murphy's USA and arrested him.
Folger then went back to Wal-Mart, according to the news release, and found the other suspect in the parking lot, where he searched him and found what he believed to be property taken from the store and also what looked like a crack pipe and three bags of meth.
