As far as ridiculous excuses for shoplifting go, here’s one I haven’t heard before…
51-year-old Paula Ernst of Land O’ Lakes, Florida went to a Publix grocery store last week, put $199 worth of groceries in her reusable bags, then walked out without paying for them.
But some employees saw her, and called the cops to give them her license plate number.
When they went to her house, she told them she WASN’T shoplifting. She only ran out of the store because she’d POOPED HER PANTS.
It’s not clear if that was true or not. But either way she was arrested for shoplifting.
