Suspected shoplifter doesn?t live up to name

A local man faces shoplifting charges after his get-away vehicle drove off and left him, but only after he loaded his ill-gotten booty aboard the car.

The suspect, who the accusers have identified as Lucky Hollandsworth, is charged with theft in warrants sworn out following the alleged incident at Big Lots this week. His wheel man, or wheel woman as it could be, is still being sought as lawmen have a good description of the vehicle.

According to warrants against Hollandsworth, the suspect made off with a rather large item and was seen doing so by store employees. Specifically, the warrant contends Hollandsworth walked out the front door of the Northgate Shopping Center store with a computer desk and chair, items only valued together at a little over a $100 but items which are large and bulky to steal.

After placing the items inside the awaiting two-door, blue Nissan, the vehicle suddenly sped out of the parking lot, leaving Hollandsworth standing in the parking lot on his own. It is unknown whether Hollandsworth and the get-away driver planned to split up or if the driver got spooked and decided to make a run for it, leaving behind his or her partner.

Hollandsworth fled the scene on foot and was last seen running in the direction of Wal-Mart.

Police are still looking for Hollandsworth and the mysterious get-away driver.
