Troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol's Marysville Post coordinated efforts with local deputies and police officers to apprehend and charge a man and a woman suspected of theft at a Marysville Wal-Mart store.

Jessica N. Storm, 31, and Frank D. Emberton II, 32 both of Dayton, are suspects in a theft of merchandise valued at more than $4,500.00 from the Wal-Mart store located at 15785 East U.S. Route 36 in Marysville.
