CRESTVIEW - A man with "large bulges" in his clothing was arrested for shoplifting two bottles of wine from a convenience store.
According to a Crestview Police Department arrest report, the 37-year-old Crestview man entered the Pic-N-Save on James Lee Boulevard on Feb. 5 and headed for the alcohol section. As he left, a manager noticed "large bulges in his clothing" according to the report.
A review of store security video showed the man hiding two bottles of Arbor Mist wine, worth a total of $6.08, in his clothes and leaving the store.
Officers found the man at the intersection of Lincoln Street and Walnut Avenue. He denied taking the wine but was arrested anyway. Officers say once he realized he was going to jail, he told them the wine was "over there" but couldn't provide a specific location.
He was charged with retail theft and has a Feb. 26 court date.
