A former small town police chief was caught shoplifting from a Walmart in one of Florida’s most well-known<\/a> retirement communities, according to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

Christopher Radz was arrested around 4:30 p.m. Oct. 5 at a Walmart in The Villages, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 35 Orlando.<\/a> He was charged with larceny petit theft.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old man was allegedly spotted by one of the store’s loss prevention officers picking up several items from a display, putting them into a Walmart plastic bag, passing all points of sale and leaving without trying to pay<\/a> for the items, deputies said.<\/p>\n

He was read his Miranda rights and did not wish to speak to the deputy making the arrest, according to Villages-News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Radz reportedly retired from the Alsip Police Department in Illinois<\/a> after serving for 32 years, from 1985-2017. Villages-News reported that he was hired as a dispatcher and worked his way up the ranks until he was appointed police chief in 2009. He served in that role until his retirement in 2017.<\/p>\n

According to the most recent census population data for Alsip, the village has just over 18,000 people.<\/p>\n

“The news surrounding his arrest is something I’m surprised to hear, as it’s out of character for the Chris I worked with for more than a decade,” current Chief Jay Miller said in a statement to FOX 35. “The actions described in the media are not representative of well-being, and I hope Chris is able to address any potential needs that may have arisen in the six years since his retirement while the courts in Florida ensure that justice is served.”<\/p>\n

Radz was taken into custody at the Sumter County Detention Center on $500 bond. He has since been released.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
