The American entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well, and it is hiding in the pet supplies aisle of an Englewood, Florida Walmart at 11 o’clock at night.
Eighteen-year-old Isaac Hurley had a plan. A clear plan, a monetizable plan, a plan that required exactly one Walmart, one phone, and zero understanding of how burglary laws work. He would sneak into the store after closing and livestream himself staying there for 24 hours, collecting TikTok views and presumably the admiration of his peers.
Deputies responding to a burglary call found him in the dog bed section. He was live on TikTok. They arrested him on camera. He had also removed an iPhone charger from its packaging while he was in there, because a man has needs.
Hurley was charged with burglary of an occupied structure and petit theft. His TikTok career trajectory is unclear at this time.
The dog beds, for their part, were unharmed and available for purchase the following morning.
