Pa. man accused of wearing high heels out of store

[November 05, 2010]  LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) -- A central Pennsylvania man faces shoplifting charges after police said he tried to steal a pair of women's high-heel shoes by wearing them out of a department store.

Lancaster police said 22-year-old Kyle James Eckman went into a store dressing room and put on a pair of size-10 heels then walked out without paying. He was stopped outside the store with his own shoes inside the shoebox in a shopping bag.

Police said Eckman faces felony charges because of two prior retail theft convictions. He is being held on $50,000 bail.

It was not immediately clear if Eckman had an attorney.
