Fox in the chicken burger house
Police received a report of a stolen beverage from the Union Market Place at 6:47 p.m. on Nov. 13. Staff had observed a male acting suspicious while walking around the cash register without paying. The staff later observed that he had food and a drink hidden under his arms. He had a chicken burger and a beverage. James Hunneman, 18, of Orono, was issued a summons for theft.
There's no excuse for stealing
Another theft incident occurred at the Market Place at 8:45 a.m. on Nov. 14. Warren Taylor, 19, of Orono had consumed a bottle of milk while he was waiting in line for a meal. After receiving food, Taylor proceeded to the cash register. When the cashier asked him if he needed to pay for anything other than the meal, he said no. Taylor was questioned by the police as to why he did not pay for the milk. He said that he did not know.
Beverage theft
Police received a call from the Market Place at 4:10 p.m. on Nov. 15 regarding a similar incident. A staff observed that a male had drank a beverage while he was waiting in line for food. The subject was identified as Griffin Wiese, 19, of Orono. He denied drinking anything but said that he would pay for it anyway. He later said he did not have enough money with him and he left. The police met with Wiese later that day when he admitted taking the drink without paying. He claimed that he did not pay because he thought that no one had seen him drinking. He was issued a summons to appear in court for theft.

It's too bad that these people are going to have a criminal record from stealing food or drinks from the Union. Sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

Yes the University and all stores for that matter should let there customer decide when and if they want to pay. You cant be serious? The only thing that is more ridiculous is your comments. (Continued…)
