City police arrested Melton Lee Butler Jr., 50, Monday after an employee at the Victoria’s Secret in the Boynton Beach Mall told officers that he took 15 women’s panties from a table and hid them in a shopping bag. He was detained by a security officer after he walked out of the store without making any attempt to pay, police said.
The panties reportedly were valued in total at $155.50. Butler was being held Tuesday in lieu of $3,000 bail.
He has prior convictions for misdemeanor retail theft in June 2014, police said. He is also a suspect in two other Victoria’s Secret retail theft investigations, according to police.
