'Shop with a Trooper' parent leaves Walmart in handcuffs
From KentuckyBut troopers are stunned Wednesday after a father brought his son to the Morehead Walmart on Monday for shop with a trooper and left in handcuffs.
Police tell us before dad made it out the door Walmart's loss prevention team caught him with a drill we're told didn't cost more than $40. Police say trying to steal a drill landed the man in the Rowan County Jail this holiday season. His identity we're choosing not to reveal for the safety of his children.
"Honestly we were very appalled by what happened," Veeneman said.
This is something Trooper Veeneman hasn't seen before. The arrest report is written in all caps with 40 exclamation points saying the man did this in front of the children and multiple state police.
