It seemed to be a routine patrol for security guards at an apartment complex. However, the quiet was broken by the screams of a man near one of the units.
The guards rushed toward the sound and found Quincy Hill throwing a fit “because a spider was on him.”
KFOR reports an affidavit says as the men were trying to calm Hill, they noticed his pockets seemed unusually full. A quick search revealed Hill’s cargo was stolen IDs, driver’s licenses, Social Security cards, and credit cards.
Recovering his wits after the scare, Hill told the guards all the booty came from the trash.
Uh, no.
The cards were reported stolen earlier, leading cops to deposit Hill in a spider-free jail cell facing two counts of receiving and concealing stolen property.
