Californian sentenced in Nebraska for ‘one-man crime spree’ at Walmarts across U.S.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A man was sentenced in federal court in Lincoln on Friday for thefts from Walmart stores across the country, the U.S. Attorney’s Office says.

Marlon Tigner, 47, of California will serve almost six years in prison for fraudulent use of an unauthorized access device.

Tigner was arrested in January on unrelated charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

While he was being booked in the Lancaster County Jail, authorities learned that he was a suspect in an organized retail crime scheme.

Tigner stole from Walmart cash registers “spanning from Washington to Massachusetts and from Texas to Wisconsin,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Three of the stores were in Omaha.

In total, he stole $690,484.

At the sentencing, U.S. District Judge John M. Gerrard called Tigner a “one-man crime spree.”

He ordered him to pay restitution.

After prison, he will spend three years on supervised release.
