A Florida man arrested on Thursday night for stealing a spoon from a
Walmart told police officers that he took the utensil because he “needed
one to eat his Captain Crunch with.”
Gregg Lerner, 46, was arrested at around 11pm after walking out of a
Walmart in St. Petersburg without paying for the $1.12 metal spoon.
Lerner was stopped by store security and detained until an officer
arrived at the business.
According to Officer Michael Romano, Lerner, “advised that he did steal the spoon, for he needed one to eat his Captain Crunch with.” Lerner was not in possession of any narcotics or drug paraphernalia when taken into custody.
Since Lerner has two prior convictions for theft, he was charged with a felony for the alleged spoon heist. He is currently being held in the county jail on $2,000 bond.
