An Atlantic City, N.J., man who pleaded guilty to stealing 91 lobster tails from a casino was sentenced to four years in prison.

Anthony Jones, 38, confessed in May to concealing the frozen lobster tails, valued at a total $1,275, in his backpack and jacket at the Bally's Atlantic City kitchen in February, The Press of Atlantic City reported Tuesday.

However, a security worker spotted Jones as he was attempting to leave and noted that he appeared to be concealing items on his person.

Jones was initially charged with theft, trespassing and burglary, but the charges were tossed in exchange for his guilty plea to third-degree burglary.

Assistant Prosecutor Diane Ruberton said Jones will be required to serve at least three years of his four year sentence.
