Burger Bandit Gets 6 Months in Jail
Hilda Taft shoved a pre-packaged cheeseburger from a convenience store down her pants and tried to sneak out of the store with it. She was busted for shoplifting and was given 5 years in jail with all but six months suspended- not because this theft was so bad, but because she was a career criminal.
Burger Thief took the stand in her defense and only said “Robble Robble Robble.”
From the DailyPress here:
A cheeseburglar has learned it may be best to ignore those hunger pains.
A Gloucester Circuit Court judge on Tuesday sentenced Hilda Ann Taft to six months in prison. Her crime? Stuffing a cheeseburger in her pants and trying to walk out of the Route 17 Little Sue convenience store in Wicomico back in February.
The theft of a $2.09 cheeseburger is Taft’s fifth felony conviction and 12th misdemeanor conviction.
Shaw said it has hard to balance her lengthy criminal record with the object of the theft. He sentenced her to five years imprisonment before suspending all but six months.
YouTube is great. They have loads of the old McDonaldLand commercials there for download. I guess its a good thing they don’t run those commercials anymore- its like marketing cigarettes to kids.
