Felony Theft/Quick Change Artists
July 08, 2016
Marathon County Crime Stoppers is asking for your help to locate two males wanted for felony theft and trespassing.
On Saturday, May 21st, 2016, about 8:47pm, an unknown white four door sedan entered the Wal-Mart parking lot in Rib Mountain and two black males, suspected to be Arthur Battis and Vashion Manning exited the vehicle and proceed into the store and go to the service desk. One of the males, Battis, pulls a stack of money out of his pocket and lays some on the counter requesting change for the bills. The subject repeats this action multiple times, appearing to confuse the cashier, causing her to recount her monies numerous times. This occurred for approximately 8 minutes resulting in a $1400 loss. The male in the plaid shirt just stands there the entire time. The two black males exit the store a short time later.
On Saturday, May 21st, 2016, about 9:17pm, it appears the same two black males went to the Cenex station near Edgar and scammed a cashier out of about $117.
