If you're "desperate and humiliated" because you're 35 years old and living with your mother, getting caught stealing more than $45,000 worth of merchandise from 25 different Walmart stores
probably won't remedy that.
Still, that's what police are saying Jason Dee Draper did to land him in jail on 28 felony charges, according to court documents obtained by
New Times.
Draper -- who police say has a criminal history in Washington and Idaho -- has been hitting up Walmart stores throughout Arizona since January 7, loading up a cart with goods like LCD televisions, laptops, car audio units, and Dyson vacuums, and putting that cart in the store's garden center, according to the documents.
Draper would then pull his car up to the garden center, dismantle the alarm from a door, and make off with his load.
Many of the items were found at pawn shops across the Valley -- and state -- and Draper later admitted to police that he used Craigslist to sell of the stuff, too, according to the court documents.
