A shoplifter with a sweet tooth headed into the bathroom at the Kroger supermarket on Gay Street, where he chowed down on Little Debbie cakes and drank chocolate milk.
The guy, whom they described as dressed in red with a white beard, then left the store without paying, fled north on Gay and went between some buildings.
Unfortunately, police weren’t able immediately able to locate him. However, about 30 minutes later, management at Findlay Manor reported that a homeless man dressed in red and with a white beard was in the lobby. Officers advised him to leave the building, and he complied.
You’ll recall that we’ve had multiple incidents of individuals stealing Little Debbie cakes from stores like Big Lots, Speed Way, and Dollar General in recent weeks. No word if any of these were the delicious Christmas Tree cakes.
