Daniel Larson, a largely wanted man in Lee County, Florida, was finally arrested earlier this week at a local Walmart after being caught with a handful of DS games in his pants (and shoes). An officer caught Larson in the act and quickly attempted to end the situation. Even though Larson pushed the officer to the ground, Larson was arrested shortly thereafter.

The criminal almost made off with $120 worth of titles. Just by doing the math, that’s probably around 4 games that he had shoved into his pants and shoes. Following his newest arrest, he admitted to police that he was planning to sell the DS games so that he could obtain money for heroin. Larson additionally said that he’d been using the drug for 15 years or so.

Larson has had a rather wide-ranging criminal record. In 1999 and 2004, he was arrested and convicted for armed robbery with a deadly weapon in 1999 and 2004. He was also convicted in 1999 for kidnapping. After most recently violating his probation for one of the armed robbery charges from 2006, Larson was again a wanted criminal.
