Mom has Son Arrested for Eating Pop Tarts

A Charlotte woman had her son arrested on Monday. The reason? He ate his mother's Pop Tart.

According to WCNC, on Monday a woman called investigators claiming that her son had stolen an item from her. When police arrived, she informed them that he had eaten one of the Pop Tarts she wanted.

Though odd, the woman pressed charges, and the boy was taken into custody. He was charged with larceny/misdemeanor.

Neighbor Fred Patrick said about the juvenile who was arrested, "He seems real nice to me. I mean, he is real respectful."

When WCNC tried to speak to the woman, "She emerged only briefly to hurl an obscenity and then slammed the door."
