James Timothy Fortner visited the Target at 2201 Cobb Pkwy. Southeast Saturday night. The Talking Rock man picked up some skin tights, socks, a watch and a headlight. According to a Cobb County criminal warrant, Fortner cut off the price tags, concealed the items in his pants and walked toward the exit, where officials detained him. Fortner was arrested around 8 p.m. Saturday on a charge of theft by shoplifting. He remains in custody in lieu of $5,000 bond. Authorities wrote in the warrant that Fortner has a "signficant record (of) shoplifting." And according to officials, he told them he isn't done.
