Four defendants faced shoplifting charges in Batesville City Court on Wednesday.

Tyler Lewzader, 2049 CR 413, Houlka, failed to appear to answer shoplifting charges from Wal-Mart. Al Williams Bonding was notified.

Raven Farmer, 150 MLK, Batesville, entered a not guilty plea to shoplifting clothes worth $22.75 from Wal-Mart.

Tanasia Farmer, 58 Otto Sanford, Courtland, entered a guilty plea to shoplifting $22.75 worth of clothes from Wal-Mart.

The court records showed it was her second offense but she said she was found “not guilty” the first time.

Judge Bill McKenzie told her to return to court next Wednesday along with Raven Farmer.

“We’ll check our records,” the judge said.
