Wal-Mart is known for dropping its prices. But one Monroe, Louisiana, man took it upon himself to drop the price of a plasma TV to $4.88.

Police arrested Chandon Simms Tuesday on a charge of felony theft. Police say Simms carried a 42-inch Sanyo Plasma TV to a self-checkout aisle after switching the original price tag of $984 with one for only $4.88.

Wal-Mart Loss Prevention officers saw Simms' pull the switch-a-roo and called police.
