Wow! This News Story is News Weary



I spotted the following article yesterday on Ocala.com when I was searching for information on the flooding in Florida. This news story wasn't exactly what I was looking for but...

From Ocala.com 8/21/08

OCALA –

“Ocala police say as John R. Herdmann rammed his sport utility vehicle into the front door of a convenience store and, once inside, stole two packs of Trojan condoms worth $2.99 each.

Herdmann, 37, of Ocala, was charged with commercial burglary and petit theft, according to a police report.

Shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday, a passerby called the Police Department and said he saw a man kick at the windows and doors of The Express Pantry and Deli, 15 S.W. 10th St., force his way in and exit a short time later.

The business owner was notified and met police officers at the store, where they watched surveillance video together. The video showed an SUV ramming the front door three times, before someone is seen getting out of the vehicle and entering the business.

While other officers were watching the video, Sgt. Johnnie Robinson found the suspect, later identified as Herdmann, hiding in the bushes at the intersection of Southwest Eighth Street and Southwest First Avenue.

Officers also found two packs of Trojan condoms on the ground.

Herdmann was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.”


Sigh....That guy was really hard up for those Trojans, eh?
