Man arrested after stealing deodorant to pay off $40 drug debt

He stuffed 19 packages of antiperspirant — $84 worth — inside his jacket and tried to head outside. Police got him and noticed that he had "Thug Life" tattooed on his chest. (Real thugs don't steal deodorant.) (TampaBay.com)

Well, that arrest certainly doesn't stink!

He tried to steal Secret, but opted for Axe, and ended up with third Degree.

I was in cvs a couple months ago, and there was a sign taped to the register for the cashiers. it had a pic of a guy and said "shampoo stealer". i remember thinking, wtf, who steals shampoo. maybe it was the same guy.

Stealing this kind of stuff is big business for some people. May seem silly but there is a lot of money to be made stealing stuff you think has no value such as shampoo, deodorant, soap, razors, etc.

I heard or read somewhere that drug dealers use dryer sheets in their cars, attempting to cover the scent of marijuana. Do they use Secret or Ban somehow for the same purpose?

At least he smelled good when he was arrested.
