Man Stole DVD Player, Police Say

It was labeled a portable DVD player, but Wilson police say an Easton man took that definition too far Wednesday afternoon at the borough Kmart.

Police say Maurice Cook, 28, of North 13th Street, walked out of the store with the $90 DVD player around 4:50 p.m.

Security spotted him, and an officer detained Cook and found the player, according to court records.

Cook, who has two prior shoplifting convictions, was charged with felony retail theft. He was arraigned before District Judge Richard Yetter, and sent to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $3,500 bail.
