Metro Nashville Police Officer Citlaly Gomez was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail this week after police say piled merchandise inside a large tote in a shopping cart at Walmart, self-scanned a few items outside the tote and paid for those, but attempted to push the $472 in hidden merchandise out the door.
According to court documents, the theft occurred on 06/10 at the Walmart located at 4040 Nolensville Pike. Officers allege she entered the store at 7:27 p.m., placed a large tote inside a shopping cart, and continued to fill it with merchandise from throughout the store. A the self-checkout she scanned a few items and paid for them and proceeded past the final point of sale without attempting to pay for the items. A door greeter asked to verify her receipt as she exited, and opened the tote to find $472.93 worth of unpaid merchandise inside.

Police arrived at the store at 8:20 p.m. and interviewed Gomez, who they said became increasingly impatient and “demanded multiple concessions” as she attempted to “hurry along” with the investigation. Police were initially going to issue her a citation, however, they determined her to be “under the influence of an inhibiting substance”, and would “lack the ability to safely make her way home” if cited. Officer noted she used a wall to support herself, spoke in a slow and slurred manner with varied cognition, and had glassy eyes as justification for the additional public intoxication charge. She eventually admitted to taking a prescription medication for an undetermined ailment.

Gomez previously filed a sexual harassment suit against the Department that is still ongoing, and they substantiated some of her allegations – but then they also sanctioned her. She says they promised there would be retribution if she filed a formal complaint. She’s currently employed by the department in a ‘decommissioned’ status. On an interesting note, her lawsuit which had been dormant since last year, suddenly hand an agreed scheduling order issued in Circuit Court the day after her arrest.
