A Bradenton man was caught Sunday with shrimp in his pants, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office said.

Detective Robert Stevenson was shopping at Sweetbay supermarket, 2501 Cortez Road W., when he noticed what appeared to be a man with groceries stuffed in his pants, according to a report.

Stevenson approached the man, identified as Joseph Young, 32, and ordered him to stop, the report said. Young then removed several bags of frozen shrimp from his pants and said he would return them.

Young then fled for the store's exit, shoving Stevenson out of the way, the report said. Stevenson tackled Young and restrained him until patrol deputies arrived.
