PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) - A Portsmouth, N.H., man was given a suspended 60-day jail sentence for stealing an $8.29 bag of coffee _ and he's been banned from all the Dunkin' Donuts in town. Matthew Anderson, 20, pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor count of shoplifting. He admitted going into a Dunkin' Donuts, placing two bags of coffee under his shirt, and leaving one behind after an employee confronted him, The Portsmouth Herald reported.
Prosecutor Rena DiLando recommended the suspended jail time, noting Anderson's convictions for drug possession and probation violation.
