Scrimshaw is also thought to have received an additional charge of electric current from an officer's X2 Taser.
Police were called to the store at 9:43 last night to find that a collection of DVDs had also been taken by the youth.
"We received a complaint from one of the staff members at Target", said officer Dory Quaid. "So we acted accordingly and tracked down an 18-year-old man who has subsequently been charged with theft and 50,000 volts of electric current".
Scrimshaw is being held in police custody and has admitted to the charge of shop-lifting. However, reports suggest that Scrimshaw had contested the second charge right up until the moment his muscles contracted and drool began pouring from his limp mouth.
