Ohio Man Posed As Tool Rep At Home Depot To Shoplift

An Ohio man posed as a Tool Rep at Home Depot in order to shoplift from the store. Points for creativity and guts, I suppose.

Do you know what that would take? How much confidence and courage you would need in order to try pretending to be a Tool Rep at Home Depot so you can shoplift from there? It's like something you'd see in a movie! A 37-year-old Ohio man was arrested after posing as a sales rep for DeWalt tools and tried walking out the front door with a cart loaded with $4,200 worth of stuff without paying, per WFMJ. He gets points for creativity, but you still can't do that!

According to WFMJ, 37-year-old Joshua T. Huey was arrested after allegedly posing as a representative of the told company and trying to take $4,200 worth of power tools from Home Depot. It happened at the Home Depot on Mahoning Ave in Austintown Township, Ohio.

WFMJ reports that his Jeep has since been impounded and they collected a lot of stuff as evidence. Video of the incident is expected to be provided to law enforcement soon. You can see Huey's mugshot provided by Austintown Police below.
