NICEVILLE — A man who put a pair of Monster headphones in his pants and left the store without paying for them was charged with retail theft.

The 53-year-old Crestview man was shopping in Walmart last summer when the theft occurred.

He refused to come back in the store when he was followed by loss prevention experts. He left in a silver Lexus with a large decal of a pink house covering the rear window, according to his Niceville Police Department arrest report.

The officer was able to identify the suspect and compiled a photo line-up. The loss prevention expert identified the suspect, who was finally arrested six months after the theft.
