He’s definitely not off Target.

A Connecticut Democrat has been busted twice for shoplifting at the same Target store.

State Rep. Raghib Allie-Brennan turned himself in to cops on July 28 after a warrant was issued on new shoplifting charges involving the same store where he was previously arrested in June.

Allie-Brennan, 33, was caught allegedly failing to scan $26.69 worth of merchandise at Target’s Bethel location. At the time, he told authorities he was rushing to bring the items to his grandma in the hospital.

“I’ve been upfront about taking responsibility for my actions,” Aliie-Brennan said in a statement.

“I’m taking accountability and look forward to continuing my work on behalf of our community.”

Store staff told cops they recognized the four-term lawmaker from “previous unreported larcenies,” according to the CT Mirror.

In the arrest warrant affidavit for the second incident, a Target security guard said they observed Allie-Brennan “concealing items into the Goodfellow bag that he had selected.”

The total value of the allegedly unpaid items in that case was $54.55, the Hartford Courant reported.

Allie-Brennan was released on a promise to appear in state Superior Court on Aug. 5.

Republicans in Connecticut have called for Allie-Brennan’s resignation.

Raghib Allie-Brennan. Is he/she related to Paul Revere?

According to Dems it was just a couple of undocumented purchases.

Lol.

This democrat officeholder has kleptomania.

Apparently he is taking something for it.

He reminds me of Sam Brinton.

In more ways than one.

Don’t think of it as larceny, think of it as redistribution of wealth.

“I’ve been upfront about taking responsibility for my actions.” How about stopping stealing, *sshole?

He was russian to bring the items he lifted to his Granny from Pasadena in the hospital. ROTFL! The trouble with all these illegal alien foreign ahos is that they all have a ton of sob stories they carry with them everywhere.

From wiki:

“The district consists of parts of the towns of Bethel, Redding, Newtown, and part of the city of Danbury.”

He has a problem with kleptomania, so he kept taking something for it! Self-medicating isn’t the best way to go in this case.

This puny little poofter thinks he’s entitled to break law because enough obedient fools voted him into a place to represent them. He wouldn’t last 6 months in prison and would get passed around by the brothers until you couldn’t tell his fart from a yawn.

Perhaps another repercussion from the USAID $$$ cutoff.

Grifters and thieves are going to grift and steal.

It sounds as though he’s compulsive.
