Farmhand jailed for pig theft profits funded strip club tips
Darrel Weeks, 38, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after prosecutors said he used stolen pig proceeds to lavish dancers at strip clubs and offered 3000 to pay for breast implants. Judge Dennis Luebke called him a thief by habit and ordered more than 100000 in restitution to the family that hired him. Weeks, already on probation for prior pig thefts, claimed he was trying to cover bills for his ex wife and children. Receipts showed most funds went to dancers at clubs where he was a large tipper.

Family in Minnesota accused of hiring thief to steal from Dayton's
Roseville authorities charged Gerald Dick and his wife Judy along with son James and daughter Stacy Zehren with two counts each of receiving stolen property for steering a convict to lift Baccarat crystal and Armani suits from Dayton's. A sting led to the arrest at their $400,000 home as the family allegedly paid the thief a share of the value. Police say Gregory Thomas, who claimed to have sold about $250,000 in goods to the family, tipped them off before his arrest. The couple and their children faced questions over involvement and motives as investigators recovered stolen items.
