CENTRE HALL, Pa. (The Blaze/AP) — A couple of Pennsylvania newlyweds are behind bars after police say they were caught shoplifting food from a supermarket for their wedding reception.
The Centre Daily Times reports 32-year-old Arthur Phillips III and his bride, 22-year-old Brittany Lurch, were arrested Saturday after taking more than $1,000 in merchandise from a Wegmans supermarket in State College.
Patton Township police say the couple was captured on surveillance footage loading a shopping cart and leaving the store without paying.
The Centre Daily Times report says the Centre Hall couple admitted taking the items when arrested. Police say the newlyweds told officers they’d been married a couple days earlier and took the food for their wedding reception that afternoon.
The Times also reports that police said they found a glass smoking pipe with marijuana residue in the couple’s car. Philips was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
They are charged with misdemeanor counts and are being held on $2,500 bail.

Report Post »Why in the world would you accuse this reporter of saying that potsmoking makes some a shoplifter? All she said was that a couple of shoplifters stole the food. What is your problem with her? It sounds to me like: #1 you are such a heavily addicted potsmoker that the term pothead was created just to describe you. #1 You are so defensive about potsmoking that you would accuse people of anything to defend it, even if they aren’t attacking it. #3 That the potsmoking you have done has done cooked your brain into a mush that will never recover. #4 That because of your potsmoking, you will NEVER show any level of intelligence again.

Report Post »#1 I should really stop laughing first. First off, my message was to the author. Unless you’re the author, you should put a sock in it. If she would like to defend herself, let her do it. You don’t speak for her, so for you to sit there and get on a high horse for something you really know nothing about shows what a brain-dead idiot you really are. Maybe I should ask if you smoke?
#2 Look at the title. What does one have to do with another? Nothing. That was the point, moron.
#3 I’m a drug counselor. Pot does not make you a shoplifter. Duh!! You know what happens when you assume?

BTW… Here is one of your quotes from an August 19th Article that you commented on with another person:
“Perhaps you should get to know him BEFORE you spend your worthless ignorant opinion about him personally. Attacking someone personally when you don’t personally know him is being one of those stupid liberal wacko trolls that like to post on here.”
Take your own advice before you start flinging venom. Hahahaha!

Report Post »Let’s call it comic relief.
But, on the serious side, I have to visit about 10 web pages, including this one to get a feel for what is happening in the ole marble. This site is great for discourse with like minded folks, or just to beat up a troll. The MSM is only good for headlines of each polictical slant. By that time you need some relief.
Hell, I’m so cynical now, everything is funny.
