A San Antonio man was arrested on Monday for a string of thefts, including a bizarre incident where he stuffed a pair of Nike KDs down his pants.

Paul Perez III is facing an enhanced charge of theft after already racking up nine priors involving stolen items, KSAT12 reports.

His tenth arrest stems from a December 31 incident at an Academy Sports + Outdoors retail store. According to an arrest affidavit, a worker saw Perez put a pair of Nike KD sneakers in his pants before walking out of the store. The worker told police he kept a close eye on Perez because he recognized him from previous thefts at the same store.

When Perez was confronted by the worker, the serial thief began cursing and even threw a security sensor at him.

Fortunately, no injuries at the store were reported, and dude is off the streets.
