don't ask, don't pay...

but you'll still get in trouble.

a fort pierce man is being held on $5,000 bail foor retail theft after stealing from a convenience store. but in his defense, he didn't think he had to pay. you know, because he was in iraq.

the 31-year old man was confronted by police at a truck stop, where a search uncovered M&M's, a beer, two black t-shirts, and other food items. he said he paid for them, but no clerk could ID him, saying he had not paid.

the man could be heard screaming that he had served overseas in the military, and thus "could steal all the M&Ms [he] wanted."
he should lobby the government as that for an addition to the GI Bill.

so hooray for legislation as the result of larceny, and HOORAY FLORIDA!
