Hard to eat a sub with stealth
The Marketplace notified police at 12:04 p.m. on Oct. 2 when they identified a shoplifter. When an officer responded to the scene, an employee told him that they saw the suspect eat most of a meatball sub before throwing it away and walking to the cash register with his friend. They laid their items down on the counter, and the cashier asked if there was anything else they needed to pay for. They responded “no,” made their purchases and went to sit down in the dining area. The manager stopped the suspect to ask why he didn’t pay for the sub. Jeffery Falvey, 19, Orono, replied he lost his MaineCard. Falvey was summonsed for theft by unauthorized taking.
