After all those depressing stories of law enforcement misconduct, how about some stupid criminal stories?
Guy walks into a taqueria in San Antonio, orders six tacos, and when he’s asked to pay, demands them for free. When the staff says “No”, he threatens them with a sword.
I actually have a mugshot of the subject:
Sorry. Wrong taco lover.
Meanwhile, in Houston, David Nathan Gathright has been sentenced to six months in prison for “receiving, possessing, and concealing stolen retail merchandise”. Specifically, body wash and cologne.
More:
On Nov. 6, a witness at another Walgreens location in the 12600 block of S. Gessner told police he saw Gathright boosting five gift sets of cologne from a display, with a cumulative price tag of $120.
Gathright also stole a variety of cologne sets at the Walgreens at 8400 Stella Link on Nov. 15, with that heist reportedly seeing Gathright leave with $300 worth of cologne.
And:
I have to ask: if Gathright was a known figure at the South Gessner Walgreens, and had “repeatedly made attempts to steal even more body wash and cologne”, why did they even let him in the store?
There’s no mugshot of Gathright, but I picture him looking something like this:
In any case, it seems probable that Gathright will be the best smelling prisoner in state prison. (There’s an implication in the article that he had an accomplice, or at least a driver, who remains at large.)
