COLUMBUS, Ind. — A Tennessee man was arrested in Columbus, Indiana after he was caught stealing calculators and over-the-counter medicine at a Walmart.
Columbus Police say Gregg Lestingi put graphing calculators in a mailbox, then only paid for the mailbox at the self-checkout. He was caught by security, and police were called.
In the parking lot, officers found more calculators, plus the medicine, in Lestingi’s car.
