Ephrata Police recently charged Jose A. Rodriguez-Almodovar, 38, of Ephrata with Retail Theft.  Walmart asset protection alleges that on April 4, 2020 at 5:00 p.m., Rodriguez-Almodovar removed UPC/price labels from two tumblers valued at $0.50 each and attached them to two separate tools sets valued at $148.00 and $19.97.  Rodriguez-Almodovar checked out in the self-checkout lane ringing the tumbler labels instead of the actual tool sets.  Rodriguez-Almodovar was stopped by asset protection prior to exiting the store.  He is presumed innocent.
