METAIRIE, La. (AP) —
Authorities in Louisiana say they tracked a man accused of stealing
drugs from a pharmacy because he left behind a pickax he used to break
in — and forgot to remove the price tag.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Col. John Fortunato says the sticker included a bar code indicating when and where the pickax was bought. The store had video of the purchase.
Fortunato tells The Times-Picayune (http://bit.ly/ZBcFaW ) that a store near the pharmacy had surveillance video from the night of the burglary, showing the same man and a vehicle license plate.
Fortunato says drugs from the pharmacy were found during a search of 43-year-old Scott Rodrigue's home.
Rodrigue
was booked with pharmacy burglary and drug possession and freed on
$70,000 bond. He does not have a listed phone number and could not be
reached. He does not have a fully functioning brain either and probably won't do any time.
