Shopper Arrested For Stuffing Live Lobsters, Jumbo Shrimp, Pork Loin In Shorts

D'IBERVILLE, Miss. -- A man in southern Mississippi is accused of trying to walk out of a D'Iberville grocery store without paying for food items he'd stuffed into his cargo shorts including live lobsters.

Police Chief Wayne Payne says 35-year-old Nathan Mark Hardy was arrested Saturday after allegedly being caught stuffing food into his cargo shorts – two bags of jumbo shrimp, a pork loin and two live lobsters.

Payne says Hardy, of Biloxi, tried to escape by throwing the pork loin at employees at the local Winn Dixie but fell while running away. He was arrested at the scene.

The shoplifting charge is a misdemeanor, but Hardy remained jailed Wednesday in the Harrison County jail with no bond pending a hearing on a probation violation.

I'd dare him to take those bands off before 'hiding the lobster'.

he would get 'arrested' long before the cops showed up, if he did that!

I can only quote Robin Williams: "Those people (are so rich that they) don't get the crabs, they get the lobsters!!”

Too bad it was not another type of Ocean Crustacean- The headline could have been
" Man with Crabs arrested"
