Wallis faces two counts of felony organized retail theft, three counts of felony dealing in stolen property, and one count of felony money laundering.
According to the Attorney General’s office, Wallis committed 75 thefts between July 2025 and February 2026 at multiple Target locations spanning from Orlando to Miami.
In each incident, Wallis selected multiple large boxes of trading cards and an equal number of 99-cent taco seasoning packets. He proceeded to the self-checkout, where he paid only for the seasoning packets, leaving the trading cards unpaid.
Wallis then sold the stolen trading cards through his eBay account. The scheme resulted in a loss of over $10,000 for Target, while Wallis generated almost $40,000 in revenue from the stolen goods.
The investigation was led by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of Statewide Prosecution, with assistance from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators believe Wallis committed additional thefts at Walmart and Publix locations. The investigation remains ongoing.
If found guilty on all charges, Wallis faces up to 90 years in the Florida Department of Corrections.
Assistant Statewide Prosecutors Chris Olowin and Monique Wilson will prosecute the case in Florida’s Nineteenth Judicial Circuit.
Attorney General James Uthmeier emphasized that organized retail theft drives up prices for consumers. He stated that such schemes will be met with the maximum punishment allowed under the law.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the arrest sends a clear message that organized retail theft will be aggressively investigated and prosecuted.
