NASSAU-A man who tried to steal a $4 meal could go to prison for three months if he breaks his probation.
Presley McKee, 39, of Cowpen Road, got a small plate of macaroni with some meatballs from the deli at Super Value Food Store in Golden Gates on November 3.
But he started to eat the food before he paid for it, resulting in his arrest.
McKee pleaded guilty to attempted stealing at his arraignment before Magistrate Kendra Kelly.
He admitted that he opened his plate and started eating his food before he reached the cashier.
But he complained that store’s staff didn’t give him a chance to pay the $4.45 for the food.
He claimed that they took him into a back room and beat him.
McKee was sentenced to probation for six months.
If he gets into any more legal trouble during the probationary period, he’ll be sent to prison for three months.
