POLK COUNTY, Fla. – Two Texas men learned the hard way that “souvenir shopping” has a different meaning in Polk County, Florida.
Eric Parlogean, 56, of Dallas, and Michael Williams, 39, of Fort Worth, were caught red-handed attempting to leave a Love’s Travel Stop in Davenport with a combined haul of unpaid merchandise worth a whopping… wait for it… $35.28.
That’s right, folks. These masterminds allegedly pilfered goods totaling less than the cost of a decent steak dinner. Perhaps they were hoping to bring back some authentic Florida souvenirs, like a pack of gum and a bottle of sunscreen?…
