An Edinburg High School assistant principal, and apparent comic book fanatic, has been charged with stealing several high-value superhero comic books.
Juan Martinez Junior was arrested last Friday and charged with property theft after being seen on security camera video stuffing several comic books into his jacket and walking out of the store.
The McAllen Monitor reports the store, Kaboom Comics in McAllen, posted surveillance footage of the theft on Facebook, someone who recognized the thief called police, an officer met with Martinez, and he turned over the stolen goods. The comic books were valued at more than $400.
