A Florida man tries to leave a Publix with stolen groceries and claims to be a federal marshal when a loss prevention officer stops him.

Leroy Stotelmyer, 60, allegedly tried to walk out of a Palm Coast Publix with two boxes of potatoes and a grouper filet without paying. When a loss prevention employee stopped him, Stotelmyer claimed to be a U.S. Marshal and displayed a fake badge in a black holder, then later told deputies at his home he was an 'Air Marshal Flight Examiner.' He was arrested on March 8, 2020 and charged with false impersonation of a federal law enforcement officer, petit shoplifting, and resisting a merchant.
