Homeless man smashes Walmart jewelry counter
Uploaded on April 15, 2023, Joe’s first video shows a bearded man in a coat smashing the glass counters across nearly every single one of Walmart’s jewelry displays.
Using a hammer that appears to have come straight from the hardware section, the man made his way around the department while employees worked to keep bystanders out of harm’s way.
Joe’s second video shows the man being walked out of the store by police and being placed into the back of one of the officer’s cruisers.
