Omnivore - Does a man deserve to be arrested for sharing his buffet plate?

You’ve probably heard that a Texas man was arrested here last week after sharing his $7 buffet plate with his girlfriend.

The Iron Skillet, a truck-stop cafe, presented him a bill for two plates and he refused to pay the extra charge. Police charged him with theft of services and threw him in the Fulton County jail, from which he was released two days later, after pleading guilty to a lesser charge.

YumSugar hosts a discussion about the absurd event here.
