Oklahoma Couple Arrested for Shoplifting, Blames Doctor’s Advice for Crime
KFOR ^ | DALLAS FRANKLIN | JANUARY 28, 2016

An Oklahoma couple is blaming a doctor’s advice for their recent shoplifting arrest.

Jayson Harrison and Samantha Bevens were arrested for trying to steal $600 worth of items from a Broken Arrow Walmart, Fox 23 reports.

After the couple’s arrest, they reportedly told police that they were seeing a doctor who told them to “pretend to shop” instead of stealing.

According to Fox 23, they said the doctor told them to fill a shopping cart and leave it at the front of the store to fight the urge to steal.

But, Harrison and Bevens ended up pushing the cart right out of the building, police say.

Fox 23 spoke with several mental health professionals around the area who all doubted a professional would give that advice.

No doctor was named in the arrest report.

Harrison and Bevens were booked into the Tulsa County Jail for felony grand larceny.

When I worked at Walmart in Wisconsin, a women and her 13 year old son each had a cart filled with identical items. One paid and handed the receipt to the other. Damn security cameras

I bet the same doctor might say that spending 30 days in the slammer also may help cure the urge to shoplift.

Bet that it wasn’t their first time, and it had worked previously.

My Dr. told me to get over my desire to kill shitheads was to shoot at them, but purposely miss them. I’m a bad shot.
