Wal-Mart Employee Arrested for Theft
Toledo police arrested a 29-year-old Wal-Mart employee Wednesday accused of stealing more than $7,000 worth of costume material from the store. Kylee Jane Gates, who is originally from Austin, Minnesota, is charged with three counts of felony grand theft and nine counts of misdemeanor petit theft. Gates is being held at the Lucas County Jail and will make her initial court appearance on Friday. Toledo police officials say they were contacted by Wal-Mart’s loss prevention department earlier this week when they suspected Gates was stealing. “I didn’t actually see her stuff the Viking helmet down her shirt, but it was pretty obvious that she did. No one has boobs shaped like elephant tusks,” a loss prevention detective said. After police took Gates into custody, they recovered several other items including a braided wig, a knife, and a Viking goblet. Gates told police she needed the items for the game this Sunday in Cleveland. The charge of grand theft is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, but many believe a better punishment would be for Ms. Gates to wear her ridiculous outfit to the Muni Lot tailgate before the game.
