A shoplifting suspect in Leavenworth learned the hard way not to stash your meth with your stolen lip balm.

Jason Schroyer was arrested on drug charges after being spotted shoplifting at Walmart.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says Schroyer, 46, pleaded no contest to possession of methamphetamine Friday morning. Thompson says that on June 16, a Walmart loss prevention officer noticed a man, later identified to be Schroyer, taking Bert’s Bees lip-balm, and Baby’s Lip lip-balm and leaving the store without paying.   They said they saw him place the items in a Walmart sack. 

Walmart notified Leavenworth Police. The officers who stopped Schroyer searched the Walmart sack for the lip-balm and found methamphetamine. Sentencing is set for December 16 at 10 a.m.

County Attorney Thompson noted, “Methamphetamine is a dangerous drug.”
