http://www.privateofficer.com/ There is an employee or should we say a former employee of the First Coast shoe store who had a thing for shoes. Call it a fetish or just plain thievery, the employee has been arrested after being accused by his employer of stealing more than $5,000 in shoes.
Jamell Johnson, 21, is being charged with felony grand theft.
Police were called to the Rackroom Shoes at 9501 Arlington Expressway on Wednesday. Investigators say Johnson was caught on video scanning the shoe strings but not actual shoes.
Police say Johnson told them he would let people leave without paying for the shoes. A store manager said he did this with about 80 pairs worth $5,335.39.
Police say Johnson said he gave away the shoes to his friends and family because they asked him to.
Authorities did not say whether or not those family and friends will face criminal charges of receiving stolen property.
