Crime and Punishment...and Incompetence

Everyone has hear plenty of stupid criminal stories, but stupid police stories are a bit rarer...

A mentally-ill man was arrested for "stealing" a Pepsi from Wallmart, and not even a 2-liter...

So he went to jail, probably to spend the day, but decided to stay for a bit longer.

17 months later, the police realized that even though they listed him as released, he was still in jail...

Talk about oversight.
