Stuffing theft

MIDLAND, Michigan — This stuffing was hot, but not in the roasted turkey sense.

Police have arrested a 32-year-old man they accuse of stealing 217 cases of Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix.

The stuff went missing last week from a storage trailer in Midland. Deputy Police Chief Robert Lane said area distributors have access to the trailer, and that the suspect worked for one of the distributors.

The man was arrested over the weekend at his home, The Midland Daily News reported.

Lane said prosecutors have been asked to charge the man with embezzlement. The 157 cases of stuffing recovered by police is being held as evidence.
