Police arrested the Rev. Steven Poole on Friday. Inves- tigators said Poole failed to scan a $3.22 container of butter and a $60 sofa cover at a self-checkout. Poole then allegedly went to the bedding section, picked up a memory foam mattress and switched the bar code. That caused the $145 item to be scanned for $31.
