TORRINGTON, Conn. (AP) — Police say a Connecticut man stole the snacks he fed his guests at the Super Bowl party he hosted.

Police say 31-year-old Richard Tenore, of Torrington, faces a misdemeanor sixth-degree larceny charge.

The Republican-American reports that it was one of the guests at Sunday’s party who tipped off authorities.

The guest told police that Tenore said he swiped cheese, pepperoni and liverwurst from a Stop & Shop supermarket. She took a photo of the snacks, sent it to a friend who worked at the store and that friend informed store security. After reviewing surveillance video, store security called police.
