and of course he had no teeth

A Carlisle man is accused of eating raw meat at the borough's Walmart and putting the opened packages back on the shelves.

Employees told police they saw Scott T. Shover, 53, of the 100 block of Noble Avenue, eat from several packages without paying about 2:40 p.m. Monday. The meat was valued at $24.53, police said.

Loss prevention staff and a manager followed Shover out of the store and notified a nearby police officer.

Shover was taken into custody, police said. Because of four prior retail theft convictions, Shover was charged with felony retail theft.

No teeth...He was possibly laying into hamburger. Walmart probably took the opened packages into the back for a re-wrap and then re-shelved and some poor sap has already bought it.

I cannot believe the comments I am reading!
This man looks as if he is homeless or at least is having problems.
So glad people think this is funny!
Hope you or one of your family members are not put in this sort of situation!

Finally a post that shows a modicum of compassion. Who knows what devils this person is coping with? And the anti-Walmart comments are just as bad IMHO. To all the people that make hurtful comments, I hope someday you are never in the same or worse situation as this man, furthermore, I wish you the ample money to shop at the highest priced stores for all your needs. One more thing... Pftttttttttttt !

Did you read the part about the guy having a house AND being guilty of 4 previous robberies? So I guess anyone who MIGHT be poor we should have compassion for when they steal? Come to think of it I am kinda poor and hungry for some steak. See you at WalMart. I'm sure you'll just take pity on me.
