A Marietta mother bonded out of jail Monday, after her arrest for shoplifting at a Walmart with her kids in tow, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Walmart security officials watched Latasha Rich take her kids to the shoe department, had them exchange their old shoes for new ones, and then leave the store without ringing them up, according to an arrest warrant.

Rich is also charged with taking other items from the store and faces two separate shoplifting charges, according to Channel 2.
