Man arrested for shoplifting was trying to raise money to pay his wife's bail for shoplifting

A man charged with shoplifting in Florida told police he was trying to raise money to pay his wife’s bond.

Brian Crume, 48, of Wisconsin is accused of stealing from Walmart in Winter Haven on Wednesday, according to officials.



Police say he took three packs of electronic wire. Crume told an officer that he was hoping to sell the wire on the street.

The Winter Have Police Department said: “He needed to raise money to bond his wife out who was arrested earlier in the day in Lake Wales for, you guessed it, shoplifting.”
