ERIE — An Erie man was jailed on felony shoplifting and other charges after failing to make a clean getaway during an unusual crime: allegedly stealing $86 worth of body soap. Police said 38-year-old Rickey Scott stole 13 containers of soap from a Rite Aide store Wednesday evening. Police did not immediately say why Scott stole the soap or why he allegedly wanted or needed so much of it.

Scott was jailed early Thursday after failing to post $5,000 bond on charges of felony retail theft and receiving stolen property.

Online court records do no list an attorney for Scott.

Well at least with that much soap he won't have to worry about bending over and picking it up in the jail shower.

    Maybe him and the other Pa guy that stole/walked out of the store wearing high heels were going to have a MASSIVE bubble bath in a water fountain - news at 11.

      I bet he went to clean the loot out of the place, and ended up looting the cleaning soap

        I guess he didn't make a clean getaway, but I'm sure he will want his record wiped "clean"
