Lose a Bet, Rob a Walmart

A Tennessee couple have been charged with robbing a Walmart after Brandon Lee Henry lost a bet on his beloved Vols.  The girlfriend assisted in stealing $756 worth of goods to pay off the $150 lost bet (fuzzy math, we know).

From the Cookeville Herald-Citizen:

Around 2 p.m. yesterday, Walmart officials called police and reported that several items, including a TV set, had been stolen by a man who was seen running out of the store with a shopping cart containing a flat-screen TV and several other items in boxes, according to the officer's report.

Store officials did a quick inventory to determine what all had been stolen in the incident, and they listed a Shark Navigator vacuum cleaner, a 39-inch TV, a Blu-ray player, and a pair of sleep pants.

Henry confessed to police he had “lost a bet on the Tennessee Vols game on Saturday."

On a side note, the vacuum cleaner, he claimed, was stolen for a friend’s wife (how generous) because….well…."she had said she wanted one."

Both individuals were booked with bond set at $5000 or 33 times the amount of that lost wager.
