Dumb Criminals: Arkansas Truck Driver Traded $50K Worth Of Lunch Meat For Crack
Swapping sandwiches at lunchtime is a school-time tradition.
Swapping a tractor-trailer filled with lunch meat for some crack cocaine will get you in trouble in Shelby County.
Arkansas truck driver Larry Ron Bowen was sentenced to one year of inpatient drug treatment and six years of probation on Monday. He pleaded guilty in Criminal Court Friday to theft of over $60,000, including more than $50,000 of lunch meat.
Bowen was supposed to deliver the load of meat last June to destinations in Alabama and Florida. The meat never showed up.
So, the company used the truck’s GPS and found it at a service station at Lamar and Winchester. Gone was the truck’s refrigerated trailer. The truck’s tires had been replaced with cheaper ones.
