Sheboygan, Wis. (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man who placed a neighbor’s large screen TV on Craigslist as a joke over the weekend could be headed to prison. 50 year old Anthony Berry has been charged with identity theft after placing an ad on Craigslist advertising a free 50 inch Sanyo TV that his neighbor had inside his home. According to the criminal complaint, officers were called when someone responding to the ad called police, concerned that the ad wasn’t real. When officers arrived on the scene, they noted a few other individuals who replied to the ad and showed up for the free TV. When the homeowner returned, he assumed it was his neighbor, Berry, playing a practical joke as Berry does sell things for the homeowner from time to time on craigslist. Berry confessed to the posting, and said he did it because the neighbor owed him money for the things he’d posted on craigslist for him. If convicted, Berry could spend 6 years in prison.

Sheboygan judges are pretty laughable so maybe they'll appreciate this guy's sense of humor and give him a slap'stick' on the wrist :)
