SANTA ANA, Calif. (May 27, 2009)--A former school board trustee from Santa Ana, Calif. has been fined about $200 for stealing a $2 bottle of ketchup from a college dining area, and he has also been sentenced to two years of informal probation.
Steve Rocco was convicted of misdemeanor petty theft for stealing a 14-ounce bottle of ketchup from a Chapman University dining area.
He says he'll appeal.
He said authorities planted the ketchup near his bicycle to make it look like a theft when, really, he was just recycling the bottle.
