Worker hid $1,200 worth of meat in pants

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. (AP) — A New York supermarket employee has been accused of leaving the store with $1,200 worth of meat hidden in his pants.

State police say Gregory Rodriguez, of Ossining, is charged with fourth-degree grand larceny.

Rodriguez works at the A&P in Croton-on-Hudson. Police were called Monday about the theft. Rodriguez was arrested Tuesday.

A state police spokeswoman, Trooper Melissa McMorris, says the theft occurred in one day. She did not know if it involved more than one trip to the store.

Rodriguez was arraigned Tuesday night in Cortlandt and sent to the Westchester County Jail. The court clerk says no lawyer was present and no plea was entered.

Rodriguez is due back in court with an attorney on Friday.

This might have been newsworthy a few years ago, in today's economy, it could have been a few items, a few steaks, some lamb, bacon. At Walmart, years ago, right before Christmas, a lady took a "football" ham out of the case, cut it in half and stuffed the halves into her bra. An employee saw her, asked the manager what to do .... "If she needs them that bad, let her have them," and they let her walk out the door.
