Man hoped to woo a lady with wine, meat stolen from Wal-Mart, cops say

If James Flenniken wrote poetry, he could go with something like "Roses are red/ Violets are blue/ I stole Wal-Mart meat/Just to impress you." The well-meaning Romeo was arrested after shoplifting 80 bucks worth of wine, beer and steaks from a Florida Wal-Mart, police said, later telling officers that he'd done it "to impress a lady." Flenniken was caught by one of the store's "loss prevention officers" around 5 p.m. Monday, though there aren't any details about what type of wine he allegedly took or how he concealed it. Because — stolen or not — a box of Franzia wine isn't going to do you any favors. [Source]
