FORT PIERCE, Fla. – Authorities arrested a man who claimed he was justified in stealing candy at a truck stop because he had served in the military. Police said an officer confronted a 31-year-old man at the truck stop early Monday morning. The officer reported finding several packages of candy and nuts, two black T-shirts and a 20 oz. bottle of beer in his pockets.

He said he had paid for all the items, but a clerk denied ringing up any purchases for him.

A report stated that while in the patrol vehicle, the man screamed out the window that he had served in the military over in Iraq and could steal all the M&M'S he wanted.

His veteran status could not be immediately verified.

The man was charged with retail theft and was being held on $5,000 bail.

I get them from Yahoo where I just found this:

Fla. teens try to swallow pot during traffic stop

Link

NORTH PORT, Fla. – Authorities in southwest Florida said two 19-year-olds unsuccessfully tried to swallow a bag of marijuana during a traffic stop and were charged with tampering with evidence. North Port police reported that an officer stopped the teens on Saturday because their car's high beams were on.

The officer said he noticed the smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. When he went back to the car after checking their identification, he said he found the pair covered in "little, green leafy-like substance," and they were chewing and having trouble swallowing.

The officer reported finding four grams of marijuana in one of the teen's shoes, leading to an additional possession charge.

The pair have since been released from jail.

There was a guy who used to say he was entitled to cut in front of the line at the store I used to work at just because he served in WW2. I respect those who fought for our country, but that does not give you the right to act like an ass.

Our veterans deserve loads of special care and treatment, and should be entitled to loads of benefits for putting their lives on the line for us. Come on now, shoplifting, thats too much. He should be prosecuted like any other shoplifter.

He ought to be ashamed of himself for even suggesting that.
