LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) – A 29-year-old man told Lufkin police officers that the “voodoo” made him try to smuggle items out of Walmart without paying for them Thursday, according to the LPD media report.
Joshua Allen Renfroe, of Hemphill, was booked into the Angelina County Jail on a Class B misdemeanor theft between $100 and $750 charge. He was released from jail later Thursday after he posted bail on a $1,500 bond amount, according to jail records.
