  1. Chad did have a job.. stealing 55 cases of soda from Sheetz. Poor soul has a sweet tooth addiction.

  2. How on earth did he access the cases of soda? Where was it kept ? Did Sheetz have it stacked outside, or something? This sounds really crazy, and just plain fishy! Sheetz needs more eyes on “that front door”!! Cameras? He committed these crimes in July , but just was arrested in late August??? Very fishy, someone is covering something up, I betcha!(and NO I am not referring to Law Enforcement)

    • He picked it up and walked out of the store with it as if he had paid.No! Not outside. Nothing fishy, just your normal criminal! Nobody covering up anything, that is silly LOL
