A man in Texas was arrested after officials say he was seen inside an antique store placing items in his rectum then putting them back on the shelves.

Constable Mark Herman’s office in Harris County received several calls Feb. 15 about a man inside an antique mall in Spring, according to a Facebook post.

The man was seen taking items from multiple vendors and placing them in his rectum, officials said. Then, he would place those items back on the shelves, according to the constable’s office.

The man was seen on surveillance footage grabbing items off the shelf and putting the items up his kilt, KPRC reported.

The items were disposed of, according to officials.

A warrant was issued for the man and he was arrested on charges of criminal mischief. He was given a $100 bond.

Spring is about 25 miles north of downtown Houston.
