Jax Taylor, that lying, cheating, former video game model whose full time job is being a part-time bartender on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, was arrested Friday for allegedly stealing $300 sunglasses at a Sunglass Hut in Honolulu, Hawaii. TMZ has the security footage:

In the video, Mr. Taylor [is my father; call me “Jax” — the name I selected for myself] can be seen selecting a pair of sunglasses, trying to get his hair to hang in a cool way, briefly wandering around the small store (“hut”), and then bizarrely sticking one foot outside the store’s doorway, almost as if waiting for a security alarm to sound. When nothing (apparently) happens, the fleet-footed Jax quietly books it out of sight. According to TMZ, he was quickly arrested at a hotel a block away and charged with a felony, because $300 is the minimum amount for felony theft in Hawaii. Island law, man.

Instagram posts by Jax and his fellow Pump Rules castmates suggest that Jax was in Hawaii last week to celebrate his 36th birthday.

36!
