FORT PIERCE — Eric T. Ambrose claimed he served in the military in Iraq so he could swipe all the M&M’S he wanted.

Police apparently disagreed and arrested him about 3:50 a.m. Monday after pulling packages of the candy known for melting in your mouth, not in your hands from his pockets at the Pilot truck stop in the 7100 block of Okeechobee Road, according to a recently released arrest affidavit.

It wasn't the first time Ambrose had been arrested by Fort Pierce police this month -- he previously created a "spectacle'' at a Super 8 Motel and was arrested for disorderly intoxication and causing a public disturbance, police said.

In the most recent case, in addition to the three packs of peanut M&M’S, Ambrose, 31, reportedly absconded with two black T-shirts, a 20 oz. Bud Light and single packages each of Circus Peanuts candy, chewing tobacco, Wonka Nerds candy, Planters cashews, Reese’s Pieces and Sour Patch candy. Also allegedly taken were two each of large Snickers candy bars and beef jerky packages.

An officer approached Ambrose at the counter, and initially he denied taking anything.

“This officer could clearly see the pocket on the right side of the defendant’s pants were bulging and M&M’S packages could be seen,” the affidavit states. “This officer started removing the candy from his pocket and (another officer) started removing more candy and a T-shirt from his left pockets.” ...

That's just plain nuts.

When he gets to jail "Melts In Your Mouth, Not In Your Hand" could take on tragic new meaning for him.

If he did serve, he deserves our thanks. And he might need some help with a substance abuse problem or two....

He can't help his fascination with the Green M&M

The man seems to have more problems than are made obvious in this story. He obvioualy wants to get caught, as he was, but then?
