Man hiding lobster tails in his pants arrested for theft

A man faces charges after allegedly hiding several lobster tails in his pants and stealing them from a grocery store.



According to police reports, it happened at around 2:22pm on Friday at the Giant Eagle Market in Solon, Ohio. A Giant Eagle worker said they saw the suspect come into the store and get several items from the seafood counter.

He said the suspect then placed the items in a baby seat that was in his cart and then pushed the cart past the pet aisle, where he placed the items in his pants. The suspect then reportedly exited the store without paying.



A worker at the seafood counter said she waited on the suspect, giving him eight lobster tails worth around $80. John J. Gaglione, 40, of Maple Heights, Ohio, was later arrested and now faces a charge of theft/shoplifting.
