An Idaho man has been accused of breaking into the Graduate Hotel to steal a dessert. 

John Harding, 55, was charged Feb. 11 with third-degree burglary and first-offense trespassing. 

According to the arrest affidavit, Harding entered the restaurant while it was closed through an employee-only entrance. Officers found a fork from the restaurant in Harding’s pocket. 

When asked why he had the fork, Harding said that he was planning on eating a piece of pie from the display case. 

Third-degree burglary is a Class-D felony.
