Man Dunked Head Into South Jersey Store's Pickle Bin, Turns Himself In

GLASSBORO, NJ — A "young man" who dunked his head into a South Jersey convenience store's pickle bin has turned himself in, authorities said Wednesday.

Late last month, the pickle perpetrator stuck his head inside the large pickle bin at Heritage's in Glassboro, police said. He filmed the incident with his cellphone — probably for a social-media stunt — authorities said.

The store had to remove the pickles for sale.

The Glassboro Police Department posted a photo of the man on the agency's Facebook page Tuesday, asking the public for help identifying him. He later called police and "took responsibility for his actions," according to the GPD.

Glassboro police did not reveal the man's identity or any charges. But they expressed "dillight" with the outcome:

"We certainly relish the community's help in bringing attention to the pickle we were in yesterday when trying to identify the young man involved in the incident at the Heritage's store in town. We are happy to report that he personally called and took accountability for his actions. Going forward, we would be dillighted if other incidents, especially those of a more serious nature, get the same exposure. We sometimes have to rely on you, our community, to assist us in making progress in our cases and bringing justice to the victims involved; the partnership we have made over the years is like none other and we look forward to continuing to work together."
