Police: Man Celebrated 45th Birthday With $283 Worth Of Food Stuffed In Pants

SALISBURY, N.C. (CBS Charlotte) – Shrimp, rib-eye steak, baby back ribs and smoked turkey. One Salisbury man celebrated his 45th birthday by trying to stuff all of it — almost $300 worth of food — down his pants.

Ronald Broadway, 45, was arrested Thursday night in the parking lot of his local Food Lion supermarket, packed with enough meats and fish intended for a birthday and holiday celebration, police said.

I’ve heard of augmenting your meat, but this is ridiculous.

Though at today’s food prices, it doesn’t exactly take a full cart to get up to $283.  Hell, I dropped 178 clams the last time I went to Soulard Market (!), and that was just me spending for my little ole lonesome self.  I should add that about fifty of that was at the coffee shop.  Flavored coffee isn’t cheap, you know.
