Marshalltown, Iowa (AP) -- Police blame a woman named Butts for stealing toilet paper from a central Iowa courthouse, and while they're chuckling, the theft charge could put her in prison.
"She's facing potentially three years of incarceration for three rolls of toilet paper," Chief Lon Walker said, stifling a laugh as he talked to KCCI-TV about Suzanne Marie Butts. "See, I can't say it with a straight face."
Workers had noticed the rolls disappearing from the Marshall County Courthouse much faster than usual, Walker said.
Butts, 38, was caught last week after an employee saw her taking three rolls of two-ply tissue from a storage closet, . . .

If she only followed Sheryl Crow’s advice.

Walker did not know why Butts was at the courthouse, but said that she did not work there. I'm thinking that maybe she was there for the toilet paper?
Just a guess.

That’s 3 years of more free TP.

If they do put her in prison, at least she’ll be assured of getting her three squares a day.

In jail, there is free toilet paper.

Yeah at a cost of $40,000 a year. Yeah I'm thinking 3 rolls of toilet paper is worth $120,000. I'm sure the taxpayers won't mind the increase. What happened to common sense????

Love the chiefs response: "She's facing potentially three years of incarceration for three rolls of toilet paper," Chief Lon Walker said, stifling a laugh as he talked to KCCI-TV about Suzanne Marie Butts. "See, I can't say it with a straight face." Imagine the judge and jury on this one.
