Snohomish County deputy on leave, accused of shoplifting at Home Depot
EVERETT — On an August morning, a uniformed Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy walked into Home Depot carrying an empty 5-gallon bucket.
Moments later, he walked out with the bucket in hand, now full of merchandise. He left a note by the cash register at the front of the store south of Everett on Highway 99. He then exited the store without paying for the bucket or the items inside, according to a search warrant filed by a sheriff’s office investigator obtained by The Daily Herald.
The deputy then reportedly went to his patrol car in the parking lot and put the bucket inside. It’s unclear what was in the bucket, other than disposable gloves worth $19.99.
Over the next month, the deputy would repeatedly steal from the Home Depot in a similar fashion while working as security there, taking at least $850 worth of merchandise, the warrant alleges.
