Shoplifter accused of stealing five Xbox games and one Band-Aid

A Florida man is accused of stealing five video games and a single Band-Aid from a store.

24-year-old Jared David McCowen of DeFuniak Springs, was spotted by a Walmart loss prevention employee going into the electronics department, where he picked up five Xbox games, according to a Crestview Police Department arrest report.



He then went to the toy department where he removed some of the games from their packaging and placed the empty boxes on shelves. He continued to the Garden Center, where he removed the other games from their packaging.

Next, he walked to the Pharmacy where he picked out a box of Band-Aids, removed one from the box and put it on his finger, then threw away the others. He left the store without paying for any of the merchandise. When he was detained the games were found in his pants’ pocket. He was charged with grand theft, a felony, and will make a court appearance on Dec. 10.
