Peeing at Walmart is only $10..... Putting trout in your pants is more.

A worker told an officer that the suspect, David Wylie, was seen urinating on the sales floor near the alcohol while trying to put a package of trout in his pants and he then attempted to leave the store without paying, the warrant stated.

The officer wrote that Wylie told him he indeed urinated on the floor but "was not concerned because it was a misdemeanor."

He also said he had been consuming alcohol. He repeatedly stated to the officer that he was not concerned with being cited for either offense because they were misdemeanors.

"Wylie's statements as well as the detection of alcohol led me to believe that the offenses were likely to continue," the officer wrote.

Wylie, 56, was arrested and charged with shoplifting, vandalism, indecent exposure and public intoxication.

The warrant says the value of the items he attempted to take was $130 and the vandalism was estimated at $10.

2 ounces of bleach - 8 cents
15 minutes of associates time - $3 (including benefits)

...and hurts themselves.

That has to be worth at least $5 extra right there.

I had to send a MoneyGram to a friend once and looked to my left and there they were...two overflowing shopping carts with HUNDREDS of items that had either been returned or people just didn't want them, so they left them wherever they were standing. I could not be the guy to return those items to the shelves. I'd go straight into manic depression.

without paying. Who'd go to the trouble of stuffing the fish in their pants and then pay? You have to take the fish out so they can scan it.
