Otsego County woman arrested after theft from Walmart

On March 15, 2026, New York State Police at Oneonta arrested Sherry A. Ashmore, 54 of Laurens for the class “E” felony of Grand Larceny in the 4th degree. 

Troopers were dispatched to Walmart on State Highway 23 in the town of Oneonta for a report of a larceny.  It was discovered that Ashmore placed over one-thousand dollars’ worth of houseware items and items from the garden center into her cart then went through a register lane but made no attempt to pay for the items. Members from Walmart Asset Protection attempted to stop Ashmore outside the Supercenter but Ashmore fled on foot. 

Troopers located Ashmore in Burger King and she was arrested.
