An Alabama prisons officer has lost his job after he was caught stealing pokemon cards at a Walmart while in uniform.
Calhoun County correctional officer Josh Hardy completed his shift on Saturday night, and left the Calhoun County jail and proceeded to Walmart.
According to the County Sheriff’s Office, Walmart’s loss prevention division witnessed Hardy remove several Pokémon cards from their packets, placing them inside his pockets.
Walmart employees confronted Hardy as he attempted to leave without paying, after which he fled the store on foot.
Police located Hardy at a nearby restaurant, where he was arrested, taken to Oxford City Jail and charged with theft.
His bosses have since revealed that Hardy was fired following his arrest.
