OSSIPEE — A legally blind man accused of shoplifting from Walmart in 2018 may be let off the hook from doing any prison time, according to a “diversion agreement” OK’d by a Carroll County Superior Court judge Monday.

A diversion agreement, according to uslegal.com, is “the specification of formal terms and conditions which a defendant must fulfill in order to have the charges against him/her dismissed. ... Diversion is a means to avoid a judgment of criminal guilt.”
