A 19-year-old man faces grand theft charges for allegedly trying to steal assault rifles from a pawn shop in Davie by stuffing them down his pants.
Marlon Paul Alvarez of Fort Lauderdale made his first court appearance Wednesday.
The Sun Sentinel reports that Broward County Judge John Hurley, reading from an arrest report, said Alvarez was seen Tuesday taking an AK-47 from a display and sticking it down his pants. Hurley said Alvarez removed the weapon, then took another assault rifle off another display, put it down his pants and then limped out the door.
Police say the owner of Public Pawn and Gun at 6798 Stirling Rd. confronted Alvarez and recovered the $830 weapon before Alvarez fled. He was apprehended a block away by Davie Police and identified by the store owner.
Davie Police said Alvarez later confessed to the crime. He was held on $25,000 bond for grand theft and the violation of a domestic violence injunction.
Jail records did not show whether he had an attorney.
Are you sure he wasn’t just happy to see you?
This is my rifle, this is my gun. One if for fighting, one is for fun.
I’m too new to make any off colored comments :)
You’ve earned your stripes. Everyone puts on their pants one leg at a time. This guy must have wanted one for his ‘third.’
Oh, come on, who among us hasn’t shoved an AR down our pants? Anyone? Anyone?
ROTFLMAO!!
:-)
Maybe it was a Haynes-47
Lucky he didn’t earn a DSO! (And I DON’T mean Distinguished Service Order!!)
Holy Toledo. I would be very wary of stuffing a weapon into such a, shall we say, delicate area...........
The title and the article text says “rifles”, plural.
Did he actually put more than one rifle down his pants?
Did he actually put more than one rifle down his pants?
Yes, according to the article he put one down his pants then removed it
and put the other one down his pants and left the store.
The clerk warned him not to go off half-cocked...
