Florida Man Arrested For Felony Theft of 66 Rolls of Toilet Paper From Hotel
Newsweek ^ | March 21, 2020 | AILA SLISCO

Posted on 03/22/2020 10:18:04 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Florida man was arrested and charged with felony theft after he was allegedly caught using a garbage can to sneak 66 rolls of toilet paper out of a Marriott hotel.

Angel Esteban Hernandezcinto, 31, was arrested in the early morning hours of Thursday after police responded to security guard Yamil Egipciaco's call complaining that a man was stealing toilet paper from the hotel. At 1:30 a.m., the guard said he was on regular patrols when he noticed suspicious activity from Hernandezcinto, according to an arrest affidavit.

"Yamil saw Angel pushing a trash can toward his Honda van," the arresting officer wrote in the affidavit. "Angel opened the rear of the van and took a trash bag from the trash can and put it in his van. Yamil found it suspicious as to why he put a trash bag in his van and peaked through the window. Yamil noticed the bag was full of unused toilet paper that belonged to the hotel."

Hernandezcinto was able to execute his alleged toilet paper heist because he worked for a cleaning company that services the hotel. Egipciaco counted the rolls, valued at around $65, and expressed an eagerness to testify against the alleged thief.

Get a rope!

Perhaps a chain is more appropriate in this case.

1 chain = 66 ft., so 1 foot per roll.

It must be raw cost (although I still don’t see how 66 rolls would do it) or something is in the law about theft of emergency supplies...

Value in $?

Went to a box store this morning and they had all the TP you want, just a sign saying no more than two packages (of 12 rolls).

[$65 is felony theft??]

Yeah, that seems a bit excessive.

Though, yeah, stealing all that toilet paper is bad.

My wife and I were joking yesterday about using points to get a hotel room and stealing the toilet paper.

“Felony theft is committed when the value of the stolen property exceeds $1000. Regardless of the value of the item”

Standard Definition

Now you know why you can’t trust newsweek.

Six months ago Black Friday was for stereos, TVs, electronics, toys, etc.

Now Black Friday is for toilet paper, hand sanitizers, paper masks, etc.

What makes it a felony theft?

It's not the value; it's the victim:

Hernandezcinto was charged with theft from a public lodging facility, a third degree felony.

He should have stuck to pilfering Walmarts.
