Police arrested the man at the retail store on a charge of felony theft.

According to police reports, the man carried a 42-inch Sanyo Plasma TV to a self-checkout aisle after switching the original price tag of $984 with one for only $4.88 (around €3.60). Loss Prevention officers witnessed the alleged transaction and called police.
