So it being Charcoal and an accident was a spin. Ole Miss is shit.
OXFORD - Ole Miss offensive lineman Rod Taylor?s arrest April 3 for an alleged shoplifting incident at Walmart may not have come, as first theoried, because of an accident.
Oxford Police Department officer Steven Lewis wrote in a report obtained Tuesday by The Clarion-Ledgerthat Walmart loss prevention employee Gary Ferguson told Lewis that Taylor rang up items in a self-checkout line, paid for those items and then placed items he had not paid for into plastic bags he then put into his shopping cart.
The items under question, according to the report, were: two cans of baked beans; onions; potatoes; a 12-pack of grape soda; Ocean Spray juice; hamburger meat and one bag of charcoal. The total value was $41.53.
Taylor faces a court date of May 25 for a charge of shoplifting (first offense). The Clarion-Ledger obtained the report through an open records request.
Ferguson declined comment when reached by The Clarion-Ledger on Tuesday, saying Walmart policy is for employees not to speak with media.
While Lewis was transporting Taylor to the Lafayette County Detention Center, Taylor told Lewis that he had been distracted by a phone call about football while checking out his items and forgot to ring up the remainder of the items in his shopping cart, according to the report.
Lewis wrote in the report that he during his review of Walmart's security footage he did not see Taylor talking on the phone while checking out.
A source told The Clarion-Ledger last week that Taylor had placed but accidentally failed to pay for two bags of charcoal in a basket underneath his shopping cart.
Taylor, a Callaway graduate, appeared in 10 games last season while battling a shoulder trouble and underwent offseason surgery that kept him out of spring workouts. He finished last fall as the second-string left tackle behind Laremy Tunsil but figures to move back to guard this year.
The junior?s status remains in the air.
?If we have a young man that makes a poor decision that gets arrested, there is going to be consequences,? coach Hugh Freeze said Saturday. ?I have plans that can decide how severe those consequences are based on what you do from this point forward with the poor decision.
?We all make them. It?s what you do with it after that. I wish none of them do. But we do. Kids make poor decisions, adults make poor decisions. He knows exactly where we?re headed from here. We?ll see what happens. But there are consequences, there will be.?

Bbbbut Richard Cross say it was just a bag of charcoal and Matt Wyatt said he had
done a similar thing before. Wyatt needs to GO!

There won't be any consequences...Freeze will ask him to hold his wrist out, hell slap it, and tell him to go do 2 minutes of up and downs.
I do love the fact that Taylor tried to be sly with a "you know I play football, right?" attempt.
-
This screams of him doing this before it sounds like and he finally got caught.
he tried to lie his way out but got caught.

I wonder if that's an example of Freeze's command of English grammar, or if it's a misprint.

it's an acquired art that happens at walmarts all over MS, and a blind eye is turned. That's probably the reason there's only two "real" registers open and ALL of the self checks are open, with one sista overlooking the whole thing.... just go stand and observe how much stuff goes unscanned...
No, I'm not taking up for the guy, I hope he gets hammered. I'm just saying it's a crying shame it happens everywhere. I would never try it, but it's a learned behavior.

My problem is hearing. I hear a beep when I scan and think it's my beep but it was the beep next to me. I always check to see if I in deed scan an item when I am finish.

I some what agree with Wyatt. It is easy to forget an item underneath the basket. However I never have.
But my point, we all know Cross nor any other OM journalist would give us the same courtesy. So why does Wyatt?...
-
Yea, I've forgot stuff under the basket too. But, it's usually after I've paid for it and I leave it in the parking lot.

or it might be putting the cart before the . ox. I mean you don't put the items in the bags before you scan them. Usually an alarm will go off. Maybe one or two items but that amount. What was the phone call about; RN needs you to bring him a package to his hotel room. Yeah that would make some forget what they are doing.
