MONTGOMERY, AL (AP) -
A former agriculture commissioner candidate who promised to take on
the "thugs and criminals" in Montgomery is now facing a shoplifting
charge.
A spokesman for the Hoover Police Department said
Dale Peterson was arrested Oct. 15 on a charge of third-degree theft of
property. Police say employees at a Wal-Mart stopped him after he pushed
a shopping cart of beer and paper towels past the cash registers
without paying for the contents.
Peterson told WAPI radio that he had to go to the
restroom and he intended to pay for the merchandise. He said store
security stopped him when he came out of the restroom.
Peterson's ads in the 2010 Republican primary
featured him holding a rifle and promising to go after "thugs and
criminals." The ads went viral on YouTube.
