Galesburg Police just before 5:00 am on Saturday, October 23rd were dispatched to Walmart for a theft that had occurred. Employees reported that a man wearing a Walmart uniform walked out of the front of the store with 60-inch Samsung TV and soundbar and loaded them into an SUV and drove away. Officers and employees identified the man as 66-year old David Lee Ronk of Galesburg – who was in fact a Walmart employee whose shift didn’t start for a couple more hours.

Officers took possession of Ronk’s Walmart vest and name tag. He was charged with Retail Theft over $300 and Driving on a Revoked License.
