An Enfield man who allegedly stole $47 worth of Strawberry M&Ms was arrested Tuesday, according to the Enfield Police Department.
Chief Tyree Davis said the $47 represents 24 bags of the candy reportedly stolen by Michael Whitaker II.
The events leading to his arrest around 3:30 p.m. began when Officer G. Page was dispatched to investigate a larceny from a local convenience store, Davis said in a statement.
Store video surveillance and previous arrest photos aided in the identity of Whitaker, who was also served an order for arrest for failing to appear in court earlier this month.
He was jailed on $1,000 bond and has a December 4 court date.
