BB gun used in deodorant theft

A Florida man used a BB gun to steal deodorant from a Publix supermarket.

Publix employees told Broward deputies that they saw two men shoplifting deodorant spray.

A manager caught up with 23-year-old David J. Mlynick at a store next door. When the manager asked Mlynick to return the deodorant, authorities say Mlynick pulled what looked like a black handgun.

Assuming it was a real gun, deputies closed off a nearby apartment complex and put a school on lock down. They also called in a helicopter and dogs to help with the search.

They eventually found Mlynick, who still had the deodorant and BB gun.
