A Peters Township man was jailed on a retail theft charge following an incident at Giant Eagle Wednesday evening.
Police said officers were summoned to the store after the manager and loss prevention officer took an alleged shoplifter into custody.
Store officials told police that they observed Conor Errey, 20, take two energy bars and a supplement drink off the shelf and leave without paying.
When approached by store officials outside, Errey reportedly said that he had left to get his wallet, which he had forgotten.
But police said Errey was also found to have three bottles of supplements, as well.
Errey was arraigned before district Justice James Ellis and remanded to the Washington County Jail after being unable to post a $1,000 bond.
He is scheduled to appear before Ellis for a preliminary hearing on July 2.
