He wasn't caught with his pants down, but a Roanoke Rapids man did allegedly try to conceal bacon, sausage and other items inside them Sunday.
Lieutenant Joseph Sealey of the Halifax County Sheriff's Office said Deputy Shatel Coates responded to an undisclosed store on Bolling Road regarding a customer who allegedly concealed about $50 worth of goods.
The deputy located a man identified as 38-year-old Leon Maurice Gray inside the business, discovering he had reportedly concealed many items in his pants, including candy bars, sausage, bacon, a coat, cologne, body spray and dish soap.
All the items were recovered and Gray was charged with concealment of goods and given an $8,000 bond. He awaits a December 5 court date.
