Posted by SelkirkTMO on Mon Jan 19 23:17:11 2009 Not so often we have real crime up here, but yesterday's story is ... well ... :)Lobster tale too much to swallow Man faces court date after trying to return crustacean to grocery By BOB GARDINIER, Staff writer Click byline for more stories by writer. First published: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 AMSTERDAM � A hungry supermarket shopper claimed his lobster was bad, but deputies said it was all a shell game. Walter U. Tessier of Division Street walked into the Price Chopper on Saturday with a lobster in hand saying he wanted to return it because ''it was bad,'' Montgomery County sheriff's deputies said. Store workers were about to allow Tessier to trade the $10.99 lobster for a bag of king crab legs when they discovered the lobster was all shell. Tessier had eaten it and put the shell parts back together, deputies said. When confronted, the man with a passion for seafood ran from the store with the bag of crab legs in hand, they said. Deputies said they caught up with him at his home only to discover that he had already eaten the crab legs. Tessier was charged with petit larceny and given an appearance ticket to return to court at a later date. |

The guy was a biker, and he was white ... a more fitting answer might have been why didn't he squeesze butter on himself in order to "slip away" ... :) |
