Rogaine Thief Couldn't Beat the Rap—or Male Pattern Baldness

A 36-year-old Florida man pleaded guilty Tuesday to stealing Rogaine from drug stores all over Ohio, but he apparently wasn't taking it for his own use, the Palm Beach Post reports. Dubbed the "Balding Bandit,"* authorities say Andres Arias would fly from Florida to Ohio, rent a car, drive to various CVS and Walgreens locations, hide Rogaine—as well as dietary supplements and weight-loss drugs—in his pants, then ship them to New Jersey for payment, according to WFTV. Arias was sentenced to two years in prison and $22,000 in restitution for racketeering. His lawyer says he's "remorseful."
