Behind Bars For Sharing Snack Cakes?

Although the calories in Little Debbie cakes are high, is it really so wrong to enjoy them and by nature want to share? Apparently, according to an Ohio legal system it is at least worth the trial.

This story takes place in an Ohio jail, the place Timothy Caudill, 21, calls home. Caudill is an inmate held in a residential community corrections program who bought an oatmeal cream pie from a vending machine.

Of course, that’s not the bad part. The true crime occurred when Caudill decided to share his sweet snack with a fellow inmate, on restriction from snacks.

Now, the man who just wanted to share his Little Debbie Cakes is facing serious jail time.

According to leading sources, prosecutors have requested that Caudill’s probation be revoked and he is put into a prison for up to 9-months. Like many, his attorney considers this incredibly extreme.

It’s a snack cake, people. Yet, despite the oddity of it, it is still a crime. When it comes to punishment for this sweet crime—how far is too far?
