  1. Man Arrested For Taking Too Many Free Samples

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Is gluttony against the law? A 68-year-old Minnesota man who was arrested for taking too many free samples from a supermarket has filed a civil rights lawsuit. Retiree Erwin Lingitz says the 2010 arrest violated his civil rights. Responding to the suit, Supervalu Inc. says Lingitz was a serial offender with a habit of helping himself lavishly to trays of free cookies put out for children. On the day of his arrest, he was found to have almost a pound of beef stick and more than half a pound of summer sausage in his pockets. Supervalu&rsquo;s lawyer, Robyn Johnson, says the store manager &ldquo;observed plaintiff filling plastic produce bags with the samples or with 10-20 cookies from the kids' cookie club tray, which specifically limits the offer to one free cookie per child." In 2011 a judge said the charges against Lingitz would be dropped if he avoided further legal trouble for a year. The case was dismissed in 2012. But not being one to let his meat loaf, Lingitz is now suing, claiming the food offered was free and as his wife told a local newspaper &ldquo;you can&rsquo;t arrest somebody for thievery if it&rsquo;s free.&rdquo;</span>
