Man busted breaking into cars in jail parking lot right after bonding out of that jail

I think you can guess which state this transpired in as well.

According to police, Casey Michael Lewis, 34, was booked into the St. Lucie County jail around 4 AM Thursday following his arrest at a Walmart for grand theft, a felony, and other charges. Lewis, pictured above, bonded out of custody just after 9 AM.

Cops charge that Lewis, upon walking out of the lockup, proceeded to the jail’s parking lot and burglarized a vehicle. He was subsequently confronted by deputies who spotted him pulling on car door handles in an apparent attempt to enter unlocked autos. Lewis allegedly stole an iPhone, $547 in cash, cigarettes, a debit card, and a driver's license from the auto of a female victim who told police that she accidentally left her car unlocked.

Lewis was arrested and booked into the jail on burglary, grand theft, and possession of stolen property charges.

Lewis, a Stuart resident, was later freed on $11,250 bond on the new felony raps. He apparently departed the jail’s grounds without committing any additional felonies.

To that Walmart right now. It seems like these Florida stories get closer and closer to me everyday.

like that, even if it is just to Walmart. I wouldn't go to my mailbox dressed that way. I do find it amusing though.
