Ohio Man Goes To Prison For Sharing Snack Cake

MCARTHUR, Ohio -- A judge in southern Ohio has spared a man accused of sharing a Little Debbie snack cake with a fellow inmate prison time.

The case involves 21-year-old Timothy Caudill, who last year was held in a residential community corrections program in Nelsonville for breaking into a bar. While there, prosecutors said he bought the oatmeal cream pie from a vending machine and shared it with a fellow inmate who was on restriction and wasn't allowed to eat the snacks.

Prosecutors in Vinton County asked Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Simmons to revoke Caudill's probation and put him in prison for nine months.

Instead, Simmons said Caudill will spend an extra 30 days behind bars and pay $1,500 for the jail stay.
