$3.18 Worth of Stolen Beef Jerky Gets Two Men Arrested in Loveland

You just never know what’s going to happen… at Hobby Lobby? It looks like a couple of guys wandered into the crafting store in Loveland, and didn’t find any fun. So, they figured they’d screw around and then five-finger-discount some jerky. Jerks.

Though the ages of the men arrested aren't given in the story, I’d have to guess that they’re over 18 but under 25. That seems to be the age-frame when the need for causing trouble and the hunger for some beef jerky are at their peak. It was Thursday May 6th at Hobby Lobby in Loveland, where a couple of ‘gentlemen’ came in and found their beef jerky and found their trouble.

After browsing the picture frames, glue guns, shelf paper and such, the guys became bored and started messing around with a wheelchair. So, the Hobby Lobby folks asked them to leave. On the way out, one of the guys dropped a package of beef jerky that he hadn't paid for. There really is no wrong place to sell beef jerky- let’s just make that clear.

The employees had had enough of the two, and even though the guy offered to actually pay for the shoplifted snack, they denied his request. The guy got angry and shoved one of the employees around, and the two guys left the building.

Loveland police caught up to the two a little while later and arrested them both- the one guy on robbery charges (since he got physical with the employee), and the other as his accomplice.

Crazy ‘kids’. Add to it, that the main perpetrator had over $1,770 in cash on him. CASH! This all went down at Hobby Lobby! And they say Loveland can be a boring town- HA!
