An Annapolis man was arrested Tuesday evening after he allegedly walked out of a Pasadena store with about $130 worth of compact discs hidden inside his coat, county police said.

A security officer at the Kmart department store in the 8000 block of Jumpers Hole Road told police that a man entered the store about 6 p.m., took eight compact discs from a display rack and put them inside his coat.

The man walked out of the store without paying, but was caught and held, police said. Among the discs were two copies of Green Day's "Insomniac" and two copies of "Stripped" by the Rolling Stones. All the CDs were valued at $129.92.

Troy William Belt, 34, of the 2000 block of Parker Drive was arrested and charged with theft.
