After he found a pair, he went to his car and returned with a Kohl’s bag from a previous trip to the store. He went back to the shoe department, put the shoes in the bag and walked over to the customer service desk, investigators said.

Because of the long line at the counter, Breedlove went back to the shoe department and looked for another pair.

After selecting another pair of shoes, he walked past the cashiers and out to the parking lot.

Breedlove was taken into custody in the parking lot as he walked to his car, investigators said. He had in his possession an $80 pair of women’s Nike Air Bella TR shoes and a $70 pair of women’s Nike Elite TR shoes.

Breedlove was arrested and charged with retail theft. He was being held at the Hernando County Detention Center on $500 bond.

Breedlove did not get the job at Kohl’s.
