Eric Nelson, 37, was charged with his 5th theft of merchandise offense when he was caught trying to leave the Walmart with a $2.95 package of sausage.

On July 31st, Eric Nelson was observed holding a package of sausage at Walmart on Dickerson Pike that cost $2.95 and tried to leave without paying for it.

After he passed all points of sale and attempted to exit the building, loss prevention stopped him. The security camera footage caught the whole incident on tape. The officer reported they could not issue a state misdemeanor due to an FTA and four FTBs he has accumulated over the course of the last five years.

Man... He's clearly living on the streets :/ I can see why the store doesn't want him in there, but he needs a caseworker and probably medication, not jail time.

If he is homeless and hungry that is about to change.

3 squares and a cot coming right up.

Another human falls through the cracks.
