## Resource

Gerald Cobbs, a 47-year-old repeat offender from Lakeland, Florida, is back in jail after pulling off a slick body wash heist at a Walgreens — stealing over $600 worth of product while dressed in women’s clothing and using a distraction tactic. Already locked up for prior thefts and using an anti-shoplifting device, this latest crime adds another felony petit theft charge to his record. With 27 prior felonies, 17 misdemeanors, and over 11 years behind bars, Cobbs is a career criminal who’s been jailed eight times — including a recent release in October 2025. Sheriff Grady Judd called him a thief who won’t quit, saying if he’d channeled that energy into work, he’d be out of prison — not in it.
