This news is flat out a sorry story. Shampoo and a BB Gun. Most of the bag/bottle pickers are picking up enough deposit bottles for cigarettes and personal care items. To threaten someone with a BB Gun is sad. They can do a lot of damage, so I am not saying it is lame, just sad.

Hence, he must look his best for the judge by using only quality shampoos. The shampoo bottle says, "Apply, rinse, repeat." Connecticut says, "Arrest, release, repeat."
