A New Jersey man has pleaded guilty to stealing 91 lobster tails from an Atlantic City casino's kitchen by cramming them into his jacket and backpack. He's been sentenced to four years in prison.

Anthony Jones took the frozen lobsters from Bally's Atlantic City in February and tried to sneak them out in his jacket and backpack. A security guard monitoring a surveillance camera noticed his clothes were unusually bulky, and stopped him.

He pleaded guilty to burglary on Friday in deal with prosecutors, who dropped additional charges.

The lobsters, worth $1,275, were destroyed.

Twooo weeeeks pa lobstah. Sounds ‘bout right.

[ken21]

he should be in the u.s. congress and he’d be a celebrity.

and then those 4 or 5 savages that kicked and beat seattle’s beloved ‘tuba man’ to death on the street get almost next to nothing for punishment.

“A New Jersey man has pleaded guilty to stealing 91 lobsters...”

Not done by submarine, I hope ;^)

Our justice system is broken, horribly broken.

Donte Stallworth runs over a man and kills him and gets 30 days.

[exist]

That is retarded. Donte Stallworth only got 28 days for killing a guy while DUI— I doubt that if Donte Stallworth stole 91 lobsters he would be serving 4 years. That doesn’t seem like equality under the law to me.

I think it was entrapment.

Hey you! New guy! Whachu in for?

Uh... stealing lobsters...

[shadeaud]

4 years for stealing lobsters? Atlantic City must have gone legit if this clown made it out of the casino to begin with. No doubt the lobster themselves were delivered by mob controlled trucks from mob controlled piers which off loaded the fishing boats using mob controlled longshoreman who parked at controlled parking spots waiting for the mob controlled fishing boats to dock at ............well you get the idea yet? At least the lobsters tastes yummy!

Ayuh.

[DemforBush]

There was a case in Australia a few years back where a guy was arrested for trying to steal a pair of *live* lobsters by stuffing them down the front of his pants.

Lobster tails sound much safer, thank you very much.

[jessduntno]

Spink Bottle! Good one...I thought he would find some loop hole to get off...some obscure claws...but I guess they had him pegged!

[Know et al]

He shouldn’t have been so shellfish.

[linton59]

“the lobsters were destroyed”......bad news for Flotus.

[Sax]

The lobsters, worth $1,275, were destroyed.

(Burp) Uh, yup, they've been destroyed! Say, could me and the fellas get another round of cold ones?

Kramer??????????????????????? Is that YOU?????

[Larry Lucido]

Glad he was pinched.

If the poor guy stole 3 or 4 Million dollars, he would have been given New Jersey’s Medal of Honor and promoted to Lieutenant Governor by Corzine himself! 90 Lobster Tails in the guy’s coay and pants, the poor guy must have paid Sandy Berger alot of money just to learn how to do it! 4 Years is absolutely Crazy and Insane when Mass Murderers are given suspended sentences in Jersey!!

[PackerBoy]

If he had stolen 91 mobsters, they would have elected him Mayor.
