Two dead alligators in trunk of car prove more serious than shoplifted fishing gear
A Walmart loss prevention officer reported to police he had spotted a Fort Pierce man shoplifting fishing items from the store and placing them in his car trunk.
When police arrived, they determined the value of the stolen goods was just over $232.
The man, Christian Thomas Elmore, 25, was arrested and his bail was set at $8,250...
...Kara Hudson, the store’s loss prevention officer, confronted Elmore in the parking lot and asked him to return to the store’s loss prevention office.
Elmore complied, the arrest affidavit said.
When officers arrived, Elmore told them he would return the fishing gear and they walked back with him to his silver Toyota in the lot. When he opened the trunk, the officers “observed all of the Walmart fishing items and two dead alligators,” the report read.
Two officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission picked up the two dead gators.
