PORTLAND (AP) – Paul Bruneau will have to get used to jailhouse food after workers at a Maine restaurant discovered lobsters and wine missing – and the suspect asleep on a bench.

Police say Bruneau broke into the Portland Lobster Co. through a rear window and stuffed his pockets with cash before chowing down on the better part of 11 prepared lobsters worth about $300 and washing it down with a white wine.

The Portland Press Herald said Bruneau also left the refrigerator open, causing about $1,000 worth of food to be thrown away.

Bruneau, who was already out on bail, is being held at the Cumberland County Jail, where he couldn’t be reached for comment.
