BETHLEHEM, Pennsylvania:
A student accused of breaking into a friend's Pennsylvania home while wearing a yellow Teletubby costume and stealing leftover food is facing charges.
Police say the Lehigh University student was dressed as the Laa-Laa character from the BBC children's series when he damaged a door early Sunday in Bethlehem. They say he went into the friend's refrigerator and dumped Chinese food into a "man purse" before leaving.
No charges were filed initially. But police Chief Mark DiLuzio tells Easton's
The Express-Times newspaper the home's occupants apparently changed their minds after the landlord became involved.
DiLuzio says a disorderly conduct and criminal mischief summons will be sent to the 20-year-old suspect - and the unusual nature of the case isn't lost on him.
He says: "Not that many Teletubbies get arrested. You can't make it up."
