A Man Could Potentially Spend 7 Years in Prison for a 43-Cent "Theft"

7 years in prison for 43 cents????

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."
