Florida Thief Shaylynn Suckel Really Sucks at Shoplifting

DeLand, Florida

It is not uncommon to find a number of previous mugshots of someone who is charged with a crime.

Many are repeat offenders, with a long history on the wrong side of the law.

However, in the case of accused shoplifter Shaylynn Suckel, all I can say is Daaaaaamn!

Putting her name aside, because you can make your own jokes, the 22-year-old Suckel’s latest jail portrait is a result of a shoplifting incident down at the local Walmart.

Police said Suckel hid some baby merchandise in her purse and walked out of the store. A Walmart employee tried to stop her and asked an off-duty deputy for help, leading to a foot chase, police said. Suckel was carrying her toddler during the chase and for a moment, fell out of the officer’s sight.

The officer eventually found Suckel, who was hiding under some metal sheets with the child. The child, by the way, suffered several cuts.

Suckel faces charges of an act that could result in the physical or mental injury of a child, obstructing an officer without violence and petty theft, a DeLand police arrest report shows.

The child was turned over to the Department of Children & Families, police said.

Suckel was released Wednesday from the Volusia County Branch Jail after posting bond.
