Two Holly Springs men arrested in Oxford on felony shoplifting charges

OXFORD — Two Holly Springs men were arrested April 13 in connection with a felony shoplifting incident at a business on Ed Perry Boulevard, the Oxford Police Department said.

Officers responded to a report of a shoplifter and, after speaking with the manager on duty, located the suspects at the scene, the department said. Both men were taken into custody and charged with conspiracy to commit a crime and felony shoplifting.

The suspects were identified as Michael Smith, 54, and Marvin Sanders, 51, both of Holly Springs. The Oxford Police Department said Smith and Sanders later appeared before a municipal court judge for their initial bond hearings. The department thanked the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and the Holly Springs Police Department for assisting in the case.

Felony shoplifting generally involves theft above a state-specific value threshold or repeat offenses under state law. This is a developing story and will be updated as more details emerge.
