A LaFayette attorney has been arrested on a shoplifting charge… and when taken to jail, it was found he was carrying enough cash to make the purchase.

Sixty-three  year old William David Hentz was taken into custody at the local Fred’s Department Store in LaFayette’s Thrifty Shopping Center, Thursday evening.

Store personnel told police they observed Hentz take two Kodak 8-gig flash drives out of the packaging… total value:  $21.  The packaging was later located, hidden behind other merchandise in the store.  

When confronted by police, Hentz turned-over the flash drives on his person.   He was charged with theft by taking, according to local jail records.
