You can ‘do the Dew,’ as the ad slogan goes for the Mountain Dew brand name, just don’t steal it, and don’t pull a gun in the process.
That’s what Tulsa Police say Nathan Gabbert did at the Walmart near Admiral and Memorial Monday afternoon around 2:30 p.m.
They say he skipped the self checkout process and tried to walk out with two 12-packs of Mountain Dew.
And to make matters worse, they say he pulled a gun on a worker who tried to intervene and give him an opportunity to pay for the sodas.
Police say he was arrested as he exited the store.
They say he has a fairly extensive criminal record, including a conviction for Assault and Battery on a Police Officer.
They say he’s a tribal citizen, so the case falls under the McGirt ruling and will be handled in either federal or tribal courts.
