A Florida woman was arrested after using her three children – one of whom is described as having autism – to steal merchandise from a local Walmart, deputies said.
Katrina Latoya Singleton, 37, is facing charges of child neglect without bodily harm, causing a child to commit an act of delinquency through intimidation, petty theft, and breaking and entering.
According to deputies, Singleton took her three children to go into a Walmart in Viera, Florida to steal merchandise. Surveillance footage shows Singleton directing her kids to steal merchandise in shopping carts from the men's, women's, and children's apparel sections. Deputies said her 10-year-old child, who has autism, was heading out with the shopping cart when they stopped her at the door.
Deputies said a few minutes later her other child came out of the store and told them their mother, Singleton, was in the store. The child then called their mom to tell her to go outside as they were with deputies. Instead of going to where her children were, Singleton exited at the opposite entrance and left her children at the store, deputies said.

'Florida Bushman' brings scares, laughs
A simple costume, flower pot, and a strategic location to set up four cameras. That’s all "The Bushman" needs. And that’s what he calls himself.
So who is the Florida Bushman? His name is Chris Hunt, of Lakeland, and he’s been the Florida Bushman for ten years.
"It took about three to four years to start making a decent amount of money," explains Hunt.
He makes money from YouTube. Hunt’s very organized channel was rewarded for passing the 100,000 subscriber mark. He’s in the mid-200,000s right now, with the goal of reaching at least a million subscribers.
