Friday afternoon 42-year-old Richard Dekenipp of Farmington, New York strolled into the Sears at Eastview Mall with his three children. His intention was to get a vacuum. You know how it is. You’re a convicted felon douchebag and your wife is bitching at you to help around the house. Whatcha gonna do? I know. STEAL A VACUUM!
That’s right. Dekenipp rolled the vacuum out of the Sears store with his three kids in tow, shoved a security officer away who attempted to stop him from shoplifting and then hit the rent-a-cop with his car as he was trying to get away. Luckily the guard managed to get his tag number as he was driving away.
The car was found abandoned at the Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack parking lot and Dekenipp was located at his apartment, not too far from the racetrack. Dekenipp was arrested and charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child and Robbery. All over a frigging $400 vacuum.
