PALM SPRINGS (CBS) ―
A man behind bars after an officer confronted him about an unusual bulge in his pants in front of a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Palm Springs. The man admitted he was trying to steal some chicken.
Timothy Yates, 46, was booked on suspicion of possessing stolen property. He was held on a $5,000 bail Tuesday evening, police said.
Sgt. Mitch Spike said an officer at the store at 5601 E. Ramon Road
