WHAT HEELS: How Not To Cater A Wedding Reception
Newlyweds Arthur Phillips III, 32, and Brittany M. Lurch, 22, went to their local Wegmans supermarket to get fancy vittles for their wedding reception later in the evening, and loaded up a cart and took it out to their car twice. The second time, police were waiting for them, Reuters reports:
To celebrate their marital bliss, the couple filled a shopping cart with finger food at a Wegmans supermarket in State College [PA] and left without paying. They then returned to the store, added more delicacies to the cart and placed a large order for seafood items, police said.
But they left before picking up the order and were apprehended by police, who had been notified by the store [Patton Township Police Chief John Petrick] said.
"(It was) an array of stuff that someone might need for a wedding reception," including ham, turkey, cheese, vegetable platters, soda and utensils, Petrick said.
The value of the stolen merchandise was $1,049. Philips and Lurch were each charged with misdemeanor counts of retail theft and receiving stolen property. Police also charged Philips with possession of drug paraphernalia after a search of the couple’s car turned up a glass pipe with marijuana residue, Centre Daily Times (State College) reports.
