Runaway Teenager Found Living Inside Walmart

Howdy! How y'all doin'? Been to Walmart lately? In fact, we were there yesterday. Can't wait till the new megastore is completed here and open in January! Yee haw! Grab yourself a mug of coffee and a virtual treat, why don't'cha? Speaking of Walmart...

A runaway teenager has been reunited with his family after hiding out for several days in a local supermarket.

The 14-year-old boy managed to live inside the 24-hour Walmart in Corsicana, Texas, for four days before being discovered.

Police said the teen secretly set up two makeshift camp sites, including a sleeping area tucked behind a row of baby stroller boxes.

He ate food taken from inside the store and even kept a fish from the pet department, authorities told Dallas' CBS affiliate.

Police also said the boy changed his clothes several times daily to avoid detection by store employees.
Employees called officers after discovering a trail of food wrapping that led to the teen's hidden compounds. (See...that's what happens when you don't clean your room!)

The boy was taken into custody and later released to his relatives. It was not immediately clear if he would face charges.

Aw, let the kid off with a warning and a grounding, I say. Tell him to take his business to Target next time!

See ya, eh!
