RACINE COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A Milwaukee man is now charged after altering the prices of items at a Pick 'n Save in Racine County.

Kelly Fabian, 36, is facing two counts of retail theft - alter price and misdemeanor bail jumping.

According to the criminal complaint, officers were called to the Pick 'n Save in Mount Pleasant for a report of a retail theft back in August of 2018. Surveillance video showed a suspect take four cases of Monster Energy Drink, valued at $17.99 a case, to the self checkout kiosk. The suspect then scanned three packets of Koolaid, paid the $1.05 for them, used his Fresh Perks Card, and left the store without paying for the energy drinks.

The suspect then allegedly did the same thing at a different Pick 'n Save location.

Officers identified the suspect as Fabian based on an earlier case from 2016.

Fabian's last known address matched the address on file for the Fresh Perks card used.

He was taken into custody.
