Red Sauce on Suspect's Face Leads to Arrest
Police cited an obvious, telltale clue in the arrest of a Pennsylvania man for theft-red sauce, smeared all over his face and clothing.
Law enforcement officers in Luzerne County arrested Leahman Glenn Robert Potter with burglary, criminal trespass, and theft after he was alleged to have stolen a pot of meatballs from his neighbor's garage. Authorities said the neighbor reported the meatballs missing after he saw Potter standing in front of his house with sauce on his face. After police arrived, they later recovered the missing pot in the street.
Police officials were unable to confirm any further details, but without a copy of the meatball recipe or a sauce sample to test for DNA evidence, unofficial sources claim to have verified a motive in the theft-the meatballs must've been delicious.
Potter was arrested and held on $25,000 bail.
