Teen Shoplifts Using Stomach, Cops Say

William A. Colburn (pictured) 18, was seen shoplifting $16 earrings at a JCPenny by placing them in a bottle of VitaminWater, according to police in Naples, FL.
If this doesn't sound like a dumb criminal yet, wait.
Cops say that when Colburn was escorted back into the store by a security officer, he proceeded to chug the drink, jewelry and all.
His alleged tactic backfired when he was whisked to a local hospital for an X ray, which reportedly revealed the bling inside him.
He was arrested for petty theft, tampering with evidence and possession of marijuana. Might that last charge explain his metal munchies?
In any case, JC Penny assures us that if the earrings are recovered, they will not be returned to the sales floor.
