The Chapel Hill/Carrboro police log never ceases to produce gems such as this one:

According to reports, James Lafayette Watkins, 33, of 100 W. Rosemary St., was stopped at 12:33 a.m. while driving south on Airport Road in a Tar Heel Taxi, following a report of larceny from the Harris Teeter on Airport Road.

Reports state that officers frisked Watkins and found five, 1-pound bags of Harris Teeter-brand frozen shrimp, valued at $64.95.

Watkins was charged with one misdemeanor count of larceny and was taken before the magistrate.

He was released on a written promise to appear March 21 in Orange County District Criminal Court in Hillsborough.

Questions:
1) Who shoplifts and then flees in a taxi? Especially in a city like this where you have to call a taxi!
2) Who hides 5 pounds of frozen shrimp on their person?!?
