2. My first thought was if stealing Cadbury Crme Eggs gets you

8 months in prison TSF should get at least that.

Forward this to Judge Merchan, lol.

Besides he is still trash talking, had a gun he wasn’t supposed to have, and isn’t he hanging out with felons?

Got to be worth a few eggs.

Man the criminal justice system needs an overhaul in the USA. Looks like they’re tougher across the pond sometimes.

3. Poor guy was addicted. Cadbury's should use him in their advertising. Voiceover: How good are Cadbury Creme Eggs?

Layton Richards: So good that I went to jail for them!

8. At least he didn't steal the mini eggs

That would be far more serious. Though it might explain why they are always out of stock.
