We take you over to Gainesville Georgia, and yes a guy named 40-year-old "Speedy Gonzalez" was busted after stealing from Walmart. I guess he was not that fast. The police did say he hit several Walmart locations across north Georgia according to reports.

This guy rounded up to just about if not more than $20,000 worth of items and other merchandise. Speedy Gonzalez is being held on all types of charges, like felony charges, but police have not confirmed his official list of charges.

Gotts' Thoughts On This Story

Alright, this story is funny because of this guy's name for sure. I don't really who in their right mind would name their kid Speedy, even with the last name being Gonzalez.

That just sounds like this guy growing up might have had some bullies picking on him. Be that as it may, I don't think the parents knew that he would grow up stealing from local Walmarts all throughout Georgia.

You have to think about, what stuff was he stealing worth $20,000. I know that Walmart does have some great deals on a lot of products. But you can imagine that there has to be a ton of stuff to get out of that giant store. I'm really surprised that the surveillance cameras didn't pick him up and share it with the other Walmart stores.

Speedy my man I think you should maybe stay away from all Walmarts when you get out of jail. I also wonder what his jail cellmates might say when in lock-up, just about his name alone. I myself was a huge fan of that cartoon and was one of my favorites to watch on a Saturday morning.
