The San Francisco Walgreens shoplifter defended by one CBS anchor last week as probably just stealing something he needed has reportedly been arrested and linked to at least seven different shoplifting incidents.
The man, identified by police as Jean Lugo-Romero, was the alleged perpetrator of a shoplifting incident on June 14 that went viral due to its brazenness. With a security guard and others filming him in broad daylight, he filled a trash bag with what appeared to be cosmetic products and then exited the building with almost no resistance.
Last week, "CBS This Morning" anchor Tony Dokoupil defended onlookers for not intervening, saying it wasn't worth risking one's life for "some toothbrushes."
"That reads also as an act of desperation," he said Wednesday. "You're not getting rich off what you take from a Walgreens. You're getting probably something you need."
