A kilted man seen wandering around a store had stuffed items up his rectum before returning them to the shelves.
Mitchell C. Vest, 60, was spotted on CCTV footage taking items from the storey and allegedly placing them "in his rectum", according to arresting officers. Harris County Constable Precinct 4 confirmed an arrest had been made after the 60-year-old was referred by multiple concerned members of the public.
The man from Texas was arrested last week on one count of criminal mischief in connection with the bizarre allegations. Members of the public were less than impressed with the bold display, and called in for police help at the time.

Mitchell's bizarre crimes were caught out by shop owners (KPRC)The owner of the Antique Gallery told deputies she witnessed Vest take the makeup brush and hardware piece, before he proceeded to "shove both items up his anus, then return the items to the shelf." The items in question were valued at $130. The owner of the Curiosity Shop also involved in Vest's strange crime reported the damage done to the bottle opener and tent can were at $74.
An affidavit in relation to the crime reads: "Both Complainants advised they had to throw away the items that were used in this incident due to feces (being) on them. Both provided the video surveillance of the incidents, and both wished to pursue charges." Antiques Gallery manager Susan Golden has since spoken of her shock at seeing the incident unfold.
She said: "I was just really in shock. I just didn’t really know what to say or think." Vest, who has since been released after posting a personal bond of $100, had spent "hours" in the store according to those shopping at the time of the February 10 incident. A court appearance for Vest has not yet been set.
