A man who police say stole two pickled sausages from a convenience store and then pushed the clerk into a display to get away has been arrested, reports stated.

According to Floyd County Jail records:

Robert Markez Barnett, 20, of 211 Leafmore Road, Apt. B, Rome, stole the sausages, valued at 99 cents each, from a South Broad Street convenience store at around 10:40 p.m. on Jan. 29.

When the convenience store’s clerk called 911, Barnett pushed the clerk and ran away.

Barnett is charged with shoplifting and simple battery, both misdemeanors.

He remained in the Floyd County Jail on Friday evening.

I'm with you twisted. Maybe we need to have a legal defense fund raiser to make sure Markez gets a fair trial. "Yo! I tried to pay fo' the sausages, dog. I mean, yo' Honor."

When this story was first posted it said that the clerk asked the man about the sausages and he tried to pay for them but the cleark refused to take his money, at that point he pushed the clerk out of the way and left. Was there a legal reason that RN-T changed the story? is less info better? those facts seemed very pertinent to me...

Some Animal people (garbage because of some reason or another) are getting Very desperate? People will even kill for food! Innocent people are going to start being killed/assulted and injured by the thousands in America alone in a short period of time? (coming soon) Due to desperate criminals or Human animals! INNOCENT PEOPLE!!! I want to be one person who wants to warn ALL you that WE have come to a period of time in history where----In the name of food (by reason of food) innocent people need to be aware (especially) at the time late at night (on any night) AND don't forget? (same thing in the day) AGAIN be aware of other people around your proximity (area) either walking or sitting in a car!!! This could actually be a Satan Demon in human cothing and It/They will steal/or kill you for your food!! This comment is not to try to alarm you---But RATHER---To "Inform" you!!! Please Start being extra Careful!! The Demons are around and about You/Us!!! Good-Luck!!!
