PitchingWinsGames Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 MONROE, La. - While Wal-Mart is known for dropping its prices, one West Monroe man took the ad campaign seriously when he dropped the price of a plasma television from $984 to $4.88. Police arrested Chandon L. Simms, 23, on Tuesday at the retail store on a charge of felony theft. According to police reports, Simms carried a 42-inch Sanyo Plasma TV to a self-checkout aisle after switching the original price tag of $984 with one for only $4.88. Wal-Mart Loss Prevention officers witnessed the alleged transaction and called police. When the store officers stopped Simms on his way out the door, he produced a receipt for a television purchased at the West Monroe Wal-Mart, authorities said. Simms told officers that he purchased a TV from the West Monroe store and planned to returrn that one and keep the one he purchased for only $4.88 from the Monroe store. He was then arrested and booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_cheap_tv Yeah, it was 5 bucks officer, look at the receipt... :whistle *Not sure if this deserved Outfield or Bullpen honors* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is usually an overseer standing there just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
