An Orange Country school board trustee was arrested recently for petty theft when he was caught tucking a bottle of ketchup under his clothes and trying to sneak out of the school cafeteria.The trustee, Steve Rocco, reportedly wears dark sunglasses and a knit cap all the time. Think unibomber. He also apparently really, really likes ketchup.
APNews says Rocco could face up to 45 days in jail if charges are filed. Now, that's a great way to warn the local kids about stealing from school!
We're actually a little more concerned about his street cred than his potential jail time.

In prisons trustee refers to trusted prisoners who perform menial labor in exchange for the perks of being able to come and go as they please within the prison. In law a trustee is someone who is entrusted with the equitable title of property. What exactly does trustee refer to in this context? A prisoner working in a school or just a volunteer?
