Man’s plans for sumptuous birthday dinner go awry
NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Ronald Broadway, 45, wanted to celebrate his birthday in style and had a feast planned for his family and friends – shrimp, rib-eye steak, baby back ribs and smoked turkey. The smarty pants had what he thought was a fool-proof plan to get $283 worth of food out of his local Food Lion supermarket in Salisbury, NC, without paying for it. He wore a pair of sweatpants under his jeans and duct taped the legs to his ankles to keep the shoplifted items from falling out as he stuffed them into the sweatpants, CBS Charlotte.com reports:
While walking to his car, police noticed food dropping from his pants, which Broadway allegedly kicked underneath cars. As police detained Broadway, they began to pat him down and discovered that food coming from the fly section of his jeans. Coming from his fly were eight bags of shrimp, eight rib-eye steaks, a package of smoked turkey and an undisclosed number of baby back ribs.
Broadway, who has been charged with shoplifting, remains in custody on $3,000 bond.
