Two Charged After Employee Flagged Suspicious Order in Walmart Console Scam

Honny Rosario and Yanderlin De los Santos Orozco were charged after a Butler Township Walmart employee flagged a curbside order for PlayStation consoles that had been placed under someone else’s name, according to court paperwork. The employee alerted a manager when the order and presented ID did not add up, and managers contacted police.

According to court paperwork, Rosario and De los Santos Orozco arrived at the Butler Walmart just before 10 a.m. on Feb. 18, 2026 for a curbside pickup. Police said Rosario showed a digital driver’s license showing the man’s name who allegedly placed the order for the PlayStation consoles, and the order was described as costing roughly $1,050.

Police said the employee believed the digital ID was fake and got a manager involved. The manager, police said, recognized the red minivan the suspects were driving as the same one used when someone tried to buy PlayStations “five times before!” The manager was able to contact the man whose ID appeared on the order; that man told the manager he did not place the order.

Police said the suspects told store staff they would return with a physical ID and then drove away, at which point store managers called police. The reporting indicates Rosario and De los Santos Orozco “were charged” after that interaction; the specific criminal charge titles and court filing details were not included in the available paperwork.

State police are investigating a similar Grove City incident in which troopers say someone logged into a woman’s PayPal account, stole more than $1,300, and placed an order for two PlayStation 5 consoles for pickup at a Grove City Walmart. Police reported that the red minivan used in Butler matched the one used in Grove City, but Rosario and De los Santos Orozco have not been named as suspects in the Grove City PayPal case.

Local residents reacted to the Butler arrest with concern about retail scams. “That’s unbelievable,” said Jennifer Pavkovich of Butler, who later added, “I’m glad that somebody was alert and on the job, so to speak.” Les Geibel of Butler commented, “You know, we live in a society where scams are just rampant.”

Available reports do not specify whether the PlayStation consoles in the Butler order were recovered, what precise charges were filed against Rosario and De los Santos Orozco, or whether the red minivan was tied to the suspects by license plate or registration. Investigations by Butler-area police and state police into the two incidents remain ongoing.
