Man sentenced for stealing lobsters for drug habit
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) - A Pennsylvania man could spend up to 25 years in prison for stealing lobsters he planned to sell to support his drug habit.
Authorities say 47-year-old Charles Shumanis III repeatedly stole lobsters and meat from Allentown-area supermarkets, including a botched March 1 theft that included a parking lot car-jacking.
Police say Shumanis stole meat and lobsters on two other occasions before he was confronted when he walked out of the store with $350 in lobsters.
A Lehigh County judge on Monday recommended Shumanis serve time at a state prison able to help him deal with his drug and alcohol problems.
Shumanis pleaded guilty in September to charges including retail theft and robbery of a motor vehicle.

I'll throw in the occasional 16 or 24 oz curl to jazz things up
@Kushfan My curls don't weigh that much.

And he has a sourpuss look on his face from hiding the stole lemons from the cops.
Surf, turf and crack.......what a cracker.....
There's a lobster loose!

@RatchetRanger  Lasso that lobster.
He would have gotten away if he hadn't slipped in the 2 gallons of drawn butter
Huh. Usually it's those meddling kids that are the bad guy's downfall....
Shaggy and Scooby spilled the butter, they are still doing the cartoon run in place where the legs are a blur
Nice, lol. The heck with the drug habit, I would have been eating the heck out of them myself.
