Tulsa Restaurant Owner Pleads Guilty To Shoplifting

Talal “Tally” Alame, owner of Tally’s Good Food Café, has pled guilty to 2 counts of Larceny from a Retailer, as well as 4 counts of Larceny from a Retailer equaling under $1,000.

It was a blind plea, meaning the judge would decide the sentence. Prosecutors initially offered Alame a four-year deferred sentence, but he rejected it and entered the plea.

Alame was accused of stealing $7,700 in goods from a Sam’s Club store in Tulsa in July 2023.

Between September 2022 and March 2023, the Sam’s Club store at 42nd and Sheridan reported that Alame stole around $7,700 in goods.

Sam’s Club reported that Alame would select a large number of items at a time, before only scanning a few of them at the self-checkout area of the store.

The stolen items mostly consisted of food and other restaurant supplies.

Alame was arrested on Friday, July 14, 2023, and pled guilty to all six counts on Thursday, February 8, 2024.
