That's illegal?


Police arrest woman with barrel of bear candies

CASPER, Wyo. -Police arrested a 28-year-old woman after finding a barrel of cinnamon bear candies in her hotel room that police believe had been stolen from a local restaurant.

Officers responded to a 911 call at a hotel room where the woman was staying on Saturday evening. Officers determined that the call had been placed by accident.
However, officers saw the barrel of candies in the room and recognized it as having come from Poor Boys Steak House.

Police said the woman told them that she had gone to the restaurant the day before. She said one of her friends had grabbed the barrel and handed it to her.

The woman was charged on suspicion of possession of stolen property.

I guess there must be a fine line between misdemeanor and goof. To me if you steal an assload of free candy from a restaurant - that's a goof. Sure its not nice but its not criminal either. I have myself been involved in the theft of a somebrero full of mints from On the Border in Midland. My brother's friends were drunk and it seemed like a good goof. And you know what, it was!
