A Golden Gate man apparently wanted to feed a baby, go fishing and cook dinner; he tried to steal items worth a total of $1,334 from a Walmart, deputies reported.

Jose A. Alonso, 50, faces a grand theft charge of between $300 and $5,000 after he tried to shoplift 69 items about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, a Collier County Sheriff's Office arrest report says.

Store detectives at the Walmart at U.S. 41 North and Immokalee Road in North Naples said they first observed Alonso filling his shopping cart with fishing rods, reels, lures and a flow troll bucket. They then saw him add men's clothing and sunglasses to his cart, the report states.

Alonso also grabbed baby formula, the report says. Then he stopped at the meat department, where he grabbed beef ox tail and ribeye steak, the report states.

He ended his shopping in the produce department, where he added grapes to his cart, then left the cart and exited the store, the report reads.

He returned to the store to retrieve the cart and then pushed it outside onto the parking lot without making any attempt to pay for the items, the report states.

Store officials confronted Alonso and took him to the Walmart loss-prevention office, where they detained him until deputies arrived to arrest him and take him to the jail.
