A man might do 90 years in prison for buying taco seasoning.
A 39-year-old man in Florida named Keith Wallis has been arrested for a very bizarre scheme, where he was STEALING from self-checkout at Target.
Keith would grab multiple large boxes of trading cards, as well as an equal number of 99-cent taco seasoning packets. He’d then go to self-checkout, and would only pay for the seasoning packets. (They didn’t say what type of cards they were.)
Keith then sold the stolen trading cards on his eBay account, and it was a huge operation. He committed at least 75 thefts at multiple Target locations, and he might have done it at other stores too.
Target says the thefts cost them over $10,000. And the authorities say Keith generated almost $40,000 in revenue from selling the stolen cards online.
He was charged with two counts of felony organized retail theft, three counts of felony dealing in stolen property, and one count of felony money laundering. And he’s looking at up to 90 years for it.
