Piggy bank robber sent to jail for 4 months

ITHACA, Mich. (AP) -- A central Michigan man who couldn't keep his hands off a piggy bank has been sentenced to four months in jail.

Adam Spence of Ithaca was sentenced Monday in Gratiot County court. The Morning Sun says he was accused of stealing about $450 while visiting a baby sitter.

The bank has a label that says, "My very first piggy bank." Gratiot County Prosecutor Keith Kushion says the 26-year-old Spence also must write a letter of apology.
