Dr. Bruce Carroll allegedly stole more than $600 in merchandise
A professor of criminal justice at a college in Georgia was arrested last month after shoplifting more than $600 worth of merchandise from a Target store over multiple visits, authorities said.
Dr. Bruce Carroll, who teaches at Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville, was charged with felony shoplifting on Nov. 22 after getting caught stealing from the store on eight separate occasions between Sept. 23 and Nov. 3, FOX5 Atlanta reported, citing Gwinnett County Police.
"It was definitely a surprise that he was a college professor and he taught criminology," a police spokesperson told the outlet.
Carroll would use the self-service checkout, paying for some items but leaving with others he never scanned, according to authorities.
The merchandise he stole ranged from a bed comforter to golf gloves, dog food, a champagne flute and probiotics, the station reported.
In total, Carroll is alleged to have stolen $629.02 worth of items from the store.
According to Carroll’s biography on the college’s website, he is listed as the faculty chair of the criminal justice and criminology department and has been with the school since 2014.

He’s white. Throw him in the clink forever.
“Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?”
Can Biden hire him?
“They have insurance, your honor.”
well, a good teacher should be acquainted with that of which they teach, so... honing his craft??? 8^)
Given what we’ve read during the past few years, a college “professor” stands a far greater chance of being a suspect for criminality or idiocy.
I was just a criminal just experiment.
He was working on his Masters! ;)
Why did they wait until the 6th time to stop him?

Wrong color.
Research?
