COLONIE -- A Watervliet man was arrested after he picked up a $1,900 flat-screen TV off the shelf at Wal-Mart and took it straight to the returns counter, police said.

Philemon Ofosu, 23, was at the Latham Farms Wal-Mart on Troy-Schenectady Road just before 7 p.m. April 12 when he tried to pull the bold trick, according to Colonie police.

He got $1,995.84 cash for returning the 55-inch Samsung, police said, after which security detained him and called police.

Ofosu was charged with grand larceny and sent to the Albany County Jail.
