NAPLES, Fla. (AP) An X-ray marked the spot for southwest Florida police who say a man swallowed a $16 pair of earrings after taking them from a JCPenney store at a mall.
Authorities say William Colburn faces charges that include retail theft and tampering with evidence.
Naples Police say the 18-year-old was in the store on Saturday when security saw him remove the earrings from a box, drop them into a bottle of water and leave without paying.
When a security officer approached him outside the store, authorities say the man drank the water, swallowing the earrings.
