However, it is confirmed that he did end up paying, as written in the caption of the video above.
Reactions to Arkansas Man Stealing From Farm Stand
According to an Instagram post for Oklahoma mugshots, Lewing has been previously arrested, though not for theft, for driving with his license canceled, suspended, or revoked, transporting an open container, and a DUI. Another mugshot is also featured at the very end of the second video.
Commenters were furious at the man’s actions, with one person even writing, “Once a thief always a thief.” Similarly, another popular comment said, “This is YOUR small business and it deserves respect. He is a disrespectful thief simple as that. This is your livelihood but he sees it as a joke…especially with the taunting. File charges…“
Currently, as the video continues to gain traction, it is unclear if authorities are still involved in the case.
