42-year-old Shawn Michael Mitchell did not pay for $2,800 worth of RC Cars, parts, and accessories from the R&C Hobby Shop on West Rossview Road late June 8th. The store owner, Christinia Schramm, told officers that Billy Wimberly and Mitchell entered her store on April 27th. Due to their extensive 5-year work relationship with the business, she agreed to give them $2,800 in store credit with a contract stating that the full amount would be paid in a three-week span. Schramm further explained that Mitchell purchased $1,133 worth of items and Wimberly bought $1,700 worth of RC Cars, parts, and accessories. She added that she tried contacting Mitchell and Wimberly via texts, calls, and even personal visits to collect payments, but could not find them. Schramm said that she had been “ghosted” by them and that she observed the RC cars that they bought on Facebook Marketplace for sale. A warrant was issued for his arrest that day. Mitchell was later taken into custody for theft on August 26th.
