Dumb Criminal - the $3 LCD Television
From the Kirksville, MO
Kirksville Daily Express:
Kirksville man accused of switching water bottle's UPC_code with $500 TV
A Kirksville man faces a felony indictment after trying to purchase a LCD television for less than $3 by allegedly replacing its UPC code with that of a water bottle.
Reginald Newman, 44, was indicted Monday by the Adair County Grand Jury and has been charged with attempted stealing by deceit.
According to documents filed in Adair County Circuit Court, Newman allegedly tried to purchase a 26-inch Viore LCD television from Wal-Mart, claiming the UPC code valued at $3.16 was the proper code the television, which normally sells for more than $517.
What a total moron. If he was going to try something like that, a UPC from a $180 article would be a lot more believable. $3 is unreal...
