WEST COLUMBIA, SC A West Columbia man was arrested Monday after police say he stole a steak from Bi-Lo.
The ribeye, weighing in at just over seven pounds, was worth $68. Joseph Anthony Davis, 52, tried to throw the steak under a vehicle when police confronted him, according to the incident report from the West Columbia Police Department.
Davis told police he took the steak “because I was going to sell it to someone to make some money so I can pay my child support,” the report says.
When officials ran a criminal history check, it showed that Davis had three prior shoplifting charges on his record – all from 2009.
Just a slice of life. But he’s hardly a cut above the average crook. I hope the cops grill him thoroughly before serving him up for this beef.
actually medium-bad jokes
If bad punnery is a crime, you guys go directly to death row.
Guilty, Your Honor.
don’t go off half baked
lol
i’d be surprised if they didn’t just shoot me on sight!!
You suffer from a rare tendon-cy...I’d stake my reputation on that.
