Police: Man swallows stolen earrings at Fla. mall

 

NAPLES, Fla. -An X-ray marked the spot for southwest Florida police who say a teenager swallowed a $16 pair of earrings after taking them from a JCPenney store at a mall.

Authorities say William Colburn faces charges that include retail theft and tampering with evidence.

Naples Police say the 18-year-old was in the store on Saturday when security saw him remove the earrings from a box, drop them into a bottle of water and leave without paying.

When a security officer approached him outside the store, authorities say the teenager drank the water, swallowing the earrings.

Police said Monday the X-ray confirmed the earrings were inside him. A police spokesman didn't know whether the suspect required medical treatment for having swallowed the earrings.

Police do not know if he has an attorney. A phone listing for Colburn couldn't be found.

 

 

I can see this guy at Christmas talking to his girlfriend:

 

Man - "Honey, I got your Christmas present".

Girlfriend - "Oh Boy! Where is it?"

Man - "Uhhh......its in the bathroom"

Girlfriend - "Whats it doing there?"

Man - "Uhhhh........you'll see........."
