Is That A Sausage In Your Pants?

MAY 19--Meet Brittany Gariepy. The Florida woman was departing a 7-Eleven last night when a store clerk noticed a suspicious bulge in the front of the 20-year-old's pants. Concerned that Gariepy may have been shoplifting, convenience store employees contacted a cop, who approached Gariepy in the parking lot. Though she initially denied swiping anything, Gariepy was confronted with evidence spotted inside her vehicle: an empty wrapper for a $1.19 Big Mama pickled sausage. According to a Hernando County Sheriff's Office report, the lump that was 'clearly visible inside [Gariepy's] pants' was a 2.4 ounce pork product that she apparently consumed post-theft. Gariepy, already on probation, was charged with shoplifting and possession of drug paraphernalia (a search of her Plymouth Caravan turned up a pipe with methamphetamine residue). Gariepy is pictured in this mug shot. (3 pages)
