Meat is a felony.

Drinking scotch and wandering through the Mug Shots section of The Smoking Gun (motto: "Paving the paper trail"), I found this unappealing mugshot and amusing vingette:


Meet Lindsey Blackledge .... arrested in July 2002 for possession of a stolen, 14-ounce tri-tip steak ... a 38-year-old San Andreas woman ... called cops after discovering her meat was missing ... a trail of "meat juice" leading from King's grill to an upstairs apartment ... where they found the purloined sirloin hidden in a cabinet below the sink. Blackledge--who was found in the apartment--was charged with a felony.
