30 Years

A man is facing 30 years of prison for stealing a donut.

WHAT?!

Yes. Heres the story.

Scott Masters put a donut in his shirt, and then attempted to leave without paying, pushing a clerk int he process. The clerk had tried to stop the theft.

However, the fact that he pushed the clerk, makes it not a simple shoplifting, but instead transforms it to a strong armed robbery. That is 5-15 in the big house, but Masters has a past with the law, and the prosecution may ask for a full 30.

Masters is in shock, he cant believe they are doing this to him and denies he pushed a woman over a donut.
