Teen poses at school to purchase candy

Police arrested a Middletown, Ohio, teenager after he allegedly ordered more than $37,000 worth of candy and charged it to his former high school, reported WLWT.com.

Jad Holmes, 18, ordered more than 100,000 candy bars and lollipops from a candy manufacturer using the school's purchasing number, police told WLWT. Police were not sure how Holmes knew the number.

The manufacturer became suspicious at the size of the order and called the school, according to WLWT.com. Investigators told them to ship an empty box. Holmes was arrested when it arrived.

He is being charged with theft, according to the article.
