A petty theft in broad daylight landed a San Francisco man in hot water with the law this past Sunday in Colma. Jason Clouser, 31, decided to help himself to $131.10 worth of goods before trying to flee, only to find Colma's finest hot on his heels. According to an account of the chase on the Colma Police Department's Facebook page, a business on Colma Boulevard was the scene of the thievery just after the midday sun climbed its apex.

Dispatchers got the call around 1 pm and sent officers to deal with the situation. A male matching the suspect's description was soon nabbed by the officers, who confirmed the theft with the help of the store's loss prevention officer. But it wasn't just stolen property the man was packing—a search incidental to arrest turned up drug paraphernalia, adding another charge to the rap sheet.

The San Francisco resident's brush with the law didn't end in a jail cell, though. Clouser was hit with a citation for petty theft and possession of drug paraphernalia. He promised to face the music in court on a later date, leaving the scene with little more than a slip of paper and, presumably, a bruised ego.
