Florida Man Uses Kool-Aid Packet To Steal $1,000 In Merchandise
Cops say Florida man Bradley D. Young used a 24-cent pack of Kool-Aid powder to pull off a scam at Walmart which almost netted him $1,000 in merchandise. Young was charged with grand theft and shoplifting after police say he used the packet of powder to run across the scanner at the self-checkout while placing other, more expensive items in his shopping cart. When he was apprehended, loss prevention officers say his total bill was $24 dollars, while the items in his cart totaled $944. Authorities say Young was also observed taking some merchandise from a shelf and then returning the items to customer service, using a picture of a fraudulent receipt that was on his phone for the transaction. Young, who is a convicted felon from Ohio, was arrested and is currently in custody. – Sean Roberts
