Man sentenced in Truffle Hill Chocolate Shop burglary
EXCELSIOR, Minn. -- One of the two men charged with ransacking a chocolate shop out of boredom was sentenced in court Monday.
Twenty-year-old Alexander Running pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree burglary, per court records.
The burglary of Truffle Hill Chocolate Shop in Excelsior last November cost the owners $24,000 in damages and led to a meltdown in chocolate production around the holiday season.
On Monday, a judge stayed the chart, meaning that the conviction has been put off. If RUnning completes the terms of his probation -- which include 10 days of service at the Hennepin County workhouse, along with three years of probation -- the charge will not go on his record.
Last month, Karsten Luttschwager pleaded not guilty to third-degree burglary and first-degree damage to property, according to court records.
