Some guy in California just turned pasta into a criminal accessory.
Police say Jarrelle Augustine was buying high-end Lego sets—Star Wars, Marvel, the good stuff—then swapping out the pieces for dry pasta. Sealing the box back up, returning it, and pocketing the refund.
And here’s the sneaky part: the pasta actually sounds like Legos when you shake the box. Which is either clever… or deeply concerning.
He allegedly pulled this off around 70 times, racking up about $34,000 before anyone realized their Millennium Falcon was actually full of macaroni.
Cops finally tracked him down at his apartment, where—shocking—he had a stash of actual Lego pieces.
He’s now facing charges… and somewhere out there, a very confused kid just opened a Lego set and got dinner instead.
