A Florida man already in jail for a felony theft crime was charged with another felony last week after being identified as a suspect in a case involving a man who reportedly stole from a store and struck the manager in the face with crackers.

Last September, an individual reportedly went into a Family Dollar store and put approximately $50 worth of cleaning products and a package of Goldfish crackers in his basket.
