Wis. teen accused of breaking into home for snacks
SHEBOYGAN — A Sheboygan teen has been charged with breaking into a neighbor's house to look for snack food.
Ronald M. Savela Jr. is 17 but is charged as an adult with felony attempted burglary. The Sheboygan Press says the charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 4 years.
Prosecutors say Savela broke into the same house last year through the same basement window, leading the owner to suspect him when the window was found broken again last week.
The criminal complaint quotes the teen as saying he smashed the window with a rock and removed the screen. He says he was looking for snack food but didn't find any.
His preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 2.
Online court records didn't list a defense attorney for Savela.

Hit him with the book. Maybe he'll think twice next time. No more slaps to the wrist. It might just be better than taking him to jail after being released from the hospital because the homeowner got to him first. It's happened before...

I'm sure this stupid punk said he was looking for junk food thinking he'd get off light but once a moron always a moron. I'm sure we'll be reading about this loser for years to come.
