7 years in prison for 43 cents????
A man in Pennsylvania is facing that much time behind bars for UNDERPAYING for a 20-ounce Mountain Dew. He underpaid by 43 cents, but it's a felony under the state's "three strikes" law.
According to Newsweek:
"In August, Joseph Sobolewski entered a convenience store in Perry County, Pennsylvania where he noticed a Mountain Dew advertisement that stated that customers can purchase two 20-oz bottles of Mountain Dew for $3. Sobolewski bought one bottle of Mountain Dew for $2 and left the store. After leaving the store, it was discovered that one bottle of Mountain Dew was $2.29 as opposed to $1.50, which meant that he owed 43 cents after taxes."
Because this was his third theft charge, it is a felony under Pennsylvania's "three stikes" law.
