A Texas member of the Aryan Brotherhood was charged Tuesday with felony theft after allegedly stealing $6 worth of Hot Pockets in December from a Walmart in Austin.

One day after being detained for theft, Andrew Stephen Martin, a 28-year-old documented member of the white supremacist prison gang, was detained by Walmart security guards on Dec. 20 after they observed him allegedly grabbing the box of Hot Pockets and leave the store without paying, the Austin American-Statesman reported.

Martin — who has two prior theft convictions, bumping the Dec. 20 incident up to a state jail felony — was allegedly so intoxicated that a police officer waited with him for several hours while he received treatment at a hospital, according to the American-Statesman.

Martin could face up to 180 days in jail if convicted. He was released from prison in March 2010 after serving 12 months for evading arrest. It is unclear what type of hot pockets he allegedly stole.

The member of the white supremacist gang has a long criminal history, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety and Williamson County Sheriff's Office, with offenses ranging from driving while intoxicated and public intoxication among others.

Martin's mugshots show an interesting transformation from a Jonah Hill look-alike into something of a white supremacist hipster. Scroll through the gallery to view his booking photos.
