BEDFORD, OH -

Investigators say they've now arrested a man who pulled a gun on a guard at a local Wal-Mart.

Bedford Police say they've arrested Dennis Varner, 27 and now the investigation has grown.

Just before Christmas, a security camera captured a man pulling a gun as he was confronted by a guard about stealing TV's.  The man left without them.

Investigators say they tracked down Varner based on information they gathered on his wife after she went through the checkout line. 

Video showed Varner's family coming into the store.  Police say at the family's apartment in Mayfield Heights, they found a gun and stolen goods.

Bedford Police say the stolen goods included flat screen TV's, radio equipment, a computer and other electronics.  We're told some of the family was using some of the items, and some of it was to be sold online.

Investigators are still deciding if Varner's wife will face any charges.
