He was spotted pushing the shopping cart across Highway 16 onto Industrial Boulevard. Howard was noticed by an Alexander County Sheriff’s Deputy in front of the Alexander County Law Enforcement Center. The cart was stuffed with three televisions, a bag of charcoal, grilling tools and assorted other items.
