He might have gotten away with it if it wouldn’t have been for the fact that most heart attack victims usually don’t miraculously stand up and walk away with a, “Damn, that really hurt,” look on their faces.
According to The Smoking Gun, a dude recently walked into a Lake Wales Walmart and faked a heart attack during a failed attempt to steal $369.94 worth of merchandise.
Police said Genard Dupree and Tarus Scott filled a shopping cart with a Leap Frog tablet, Barbie Power Wheels car and Barbie vacation house and made their way toward the exit. Dupree dropped to the floor and faked a heart attack for 44 seconds, and that was long enough to distract employees from seeing Scott leave the store without paying for any of the toys.
Once Dupree noticed Scott was in the clear, he stood up, presumably talked about what he was going to do with his second chance at life with another customer and made his way to parking lot.
Although Dupree’s facade initially paid off, authorities soon caught up with the duo after reviewing surveillance footage. They were both charged with felony grand theft, but that seems rather chicken sh*t compared to the ten-year prison term Scott just served for armed robbery.
