A man has been hit with multiple theft charges after police say he stole over $3,800 of merchandise — mostly Red Bull energy drinks — from CVS stores in Northwest D.C.

The Red Bull did not give him wings. Darryl Lamond Quander, 58, of no fixed address, was located and arrested by D.C. police Monday.

Quander has been charged with 19 counts of second-degree theft for a series of retail thefts from late February through late April of this year at three different CVS locations in Northwest: one at the 1400 block of P Street, another in the 1000 block of 16th Street and a third in the 1100 block of Vermont Avenue.

In addition to over $2,000 of Red Bull, Quander has also been charged for theft of Starbucks products, dog food, household goods, body wash, shampoo and other assorted merchandise.

1. Dumb. This is definitely not a guy trying to get food

because he’s starving. Nope. Out and out blatant theft. Until we get legally strict with this, it will continue.

3. Legally strict?

What do you want to do, cut his right hand off?

Shoplifting is a crime. At the levels he took it to, he is facing felony charges. That's pretty strict.

In the real world, he likely didn't drink $2k worth of red bull. With the exception of dog food, he stole things he could easily sell. Common items his community would buy at a discount as long as the containers were in good condition.

Don't know what the solution to shoplifting is, but stricter laws aren't it.

2. He thought they wouldn't catch him 'cuz he'd have wings. n/t
