If You Want To Shoplift Battlestar Galactica Comics, Don't Stash Them With Your Heroin

Okay, so it's possible that he may not have been thinking completely straight.

But 22 year old Nicholas Perciballi has been arrested by police for shoplifting a number of comic books from comic store JHU in Staten Island – and the possession of controlled narcotics with intent to supply.

The Daily News reports that on Wednesday, store employee Dani Ward directed Perciballi to the location of their Rocket Raccoon comics, but suspected he was hiding something else under his clothes. And when he left, some of them fell out…

She gave chase but lost him. Calling the police, she was able to identify him twenty minutes later.

The comics, Battlestar Galactica, X-Men, Avengers and Hulk, worth over $100, were stuffed down his trousers – probably making them worth considerably less.

But he was also carrying four packs of heroin, which the police were probably even happier to retrieve.

Meanwhile, Dani is enjoying her new found fame…

Though, as she says on Facebook,

I hope everyone that sees this who works in retail knows to just call in with a description when they leave. DO NOT put yourself in danger confronting them physically! I was very lucky. I wish I owned that axe or a scythe, Buffy-style. Merry Christmas everyone! Don't do drugs and support your LCS!
