New photo Thief gets 20 years in prison for stealing just £400 worth of cigarettes from his local shop

A THIEF has been sentenced to 20 years in a tough US state prison for stealing just 10 cartons of cigarettes.

A no-nonsense judge threw the book at Robert Spellman, of Pensacola, Florida after he was convicted of burglary and grand theft following the petty crime on December 28.

Spellman went into a Circle K grocery store in his home town and snatched 10 cartons – containing 100 packs of cigarettes – from a locked manager’s office in the stock room.

The court was told the stolen smokes were said to be worth $600 (about £450), reports the Pensacola News Journal.

The luckless thief was found loitering nearby by cops and was still carrying his haul, according to the State Attorney’s Office.

Spellman had 14 felony and 31 misdemeanour convictions prior to the theft, so was handed the hefty sentence as he was deemed a “habitual felony offender”.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
