 Man
Arrested 46 Times in Kerrville, TX: $5 felony may put him in jail for 2 years
Two years behind bars for a stolen bottle of cough syrup? That's how much jail
time a Kerrville man now faces after his forty-fifth arrest. Kerrville police
say Samuel "Mustard" Stewart took the five-dollar bottle of syrup from a local
general store last Thursday. Because Stewart has so many prior convictions,
police upgraded the misdemeanor theft charge to a felony, punishable by up to
two years in state jail. This past Tuesday while out on bond, Samuels was
arrested for a forty-sixth time, after he allegedly stole energy drinks from a
local Wal-Mart. Police say that theft charge will also be a felony.

Five Nordstrom Rack Associates charged in $5000 retail fraud scheme in Danvers,
MA A group of five employees at Nordstrom Rack in Danvers are now
facing charges that they used the “mobile point of sale” devices in a long
running scheme to falsify purchases and returns — including conducting some of
the transactions in the men’s room. The investigation, conducted by Nordstrom
security and Danvers police, turned up several ways in which the employees
allegedly scammed the store with the help of those MPOS devices. The devices,
which look like a smartphone but are equipped with a credit-card reader, are
given to employees at the start of each shift, then turned in before the worker
leaves for the night. (Source
