'Are those pantyhose in your pants or ... '

As Houstonist was looking back through the week's news, we found something we couldn't end the week without telling you about: the guy who was arrested in Galveston on Monday who was arrested for stealing cologne and pantyhose, which he hid in his pants.

Police say the man, David Jackson Jr. of Baton Rouge, went into a Walgreens on Seawall Boulevard at about 8 p.m. Monday to report a fire in a trash can outside. While some of the employees were outside fighting the fire, another employee reportedly saw Jackson stuff two bottles of cologne and two packages of pantyhose into his pants. Jackson left the store, hopped on a bike and rode away; police caught him about three miles away. Officers said he had two bottles of cologne and two packages of pantyhose in his pants. We can only imagine the conversation that ensued:

Cop: "Sir, why do you have cologne and pantyhose in your pants?" Jackson: "I think the real question here is, why don't you?"

Oh, in case you didn't figure it out, police say they believe Jackson set the fire to distract the Walgreens employees. Sneaky! He faces a charge of theft, which could lead to two years in jail.
