Deputies: Man steals lobster from Macon Red Lobster tank

MACON, Ga. -- Deputies are looking for a man who they say reached into the tank at a Macon Red Lobster and stole one lobster.

Reginald Bailey is wanted for theft at the Red Lobster at 2077 Riverside Drive.

According to an incident report, Bibb County Sheriff's Office was called to the restaurant on Wednesday for the theft.

An employee told deputies that as someone was leaving the Red Lobster, they reached into the tank near the front door, grabbed two of the lobsters and fled the building into a car.

Another employee told deputies that she saw the man -- later identified as Bailey -- throw or drop one of the lobsters while leaving the location. The employee says the lobster is still alive, but will likely die from the incident.

Warrants have been issued for Bailey's arrest.

Bailey has previously been arrested by Bibb deputies in 2011 and 2012.
