A man was arrested for shoplifting two bottles of White Rain Hair Spray, which he drank in the Wal-Mart on Beal Parkway, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office report.

The store’s loss prevention officer, Christopher White, told a deputy that he had been watching the man for a few weeks to try and catch him drinking hairspray. It had been reported to White that whenever the man came into the store, employees would find empty bottles of hairspray on the shelves.

On Friday, White watched the man remove a bottle of hair spray and take it to the garden center. He then watched while the man opened it, drank the contents and returned it to the shelf. The shoplifter repeated the process, drinking the second bottle in the toy department, the report noted.

The man picked up and paid for prescriptions, but left the store without paying the $1.92 he owed for the hairspray.

When White confronted him, he noted the man appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. The man admitted drinking two bottles of spray. He also told White that he is “a hard-core alcoholic,” who drinks the spray for the alcohol in it.

The man had $15 in his pocket at the time. White asked him why he didn’t just go to a liquor store and buy a bottle of liquor. 

“The temptation was too great" in the store, the man replied. He also admitted to being in Wal-Mart on previous occasions and drinking hair spray.

A criminal history check revealed that the man has had multiple arrests for DUI and narcotics, the report said.

That was a real problem in m,y neck of the woods before they legalized Sunday liquor sales...  The bums would head for the hairspray isle.  I don't remember exactly what the estimate was but it was somewhere around a 70% increase in hair spray sales on Sundays.

[p.s.]

If he was real hardcore then he would have drank the rubbing alcohol....hairspray....what a lightweight!!!
