Spring Hill, FL - This fine upstanding citizen is Anthony Loren Edwards. A brilliant man, who just quite hasn't figured out how to get away from stealing from Wal-Mart.
Edwards went into Wally World and tried to leave without paying for 120 items. Not quite sure why he thought no one was to going notice that. Of course they did. Come on man, you gotta start smaller. Employees did indeed notice the vast amount of items he was trying to walk away with and called police. Edwards ran into a nearby wooded area.
A deputy and his K-9 Judge (love the dog's name), followed the tracks and found him at the Hernando County Water Treatment Facility. Before the deupty and his dog got there, Edwards was apparently hungry and ate some food that was available there. He was given multiple warnings to stop running. In suit with his wonderful decision making that day, he chose not to comply. Judge was released after him. Judge won, giving Edwards 18 stitches for his trouble.
Some of the items he tried to walk off with are as follows: jewelry - understandable, common item chosen by thieves; clothing - man's gotta stay clothed, a hamper - good for putting the clothes in after getting dirty, gloves - it doesn't get all that cold on Florida, perhaps he has a relative up north that would need these; a few key rings - more Christmas gifts perhaps, I myself only need one; several watches - goes hand in hand with jewelry, a coloring book - another gift, or maybe he gets bored; gel pens - needed for coloring book I guess, lip gloss - hey, my lips get chapped too; as well as many other various items.
I hope the $1,597.93 worth of crap was worth it. Being held on a $13,000 bond and all.
