Single and sticky in State College

CDT crime reporter Pete Bosak is taking a breather this week.

And so, as I keep track of crime and court news in his stead, I'll try to post an occasional weird item. The idea is similar to Pete's blog.

With that in mind -- get this:

A woman in State College is accusing her ex-boyfriend of pouring maple syrup all over her mattress. The damage: $300.

Police got the call shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday. It came in from a West Fairmount Avenue address.

No signs of forced entry there, police said.

Word is, the woman's roommate let the guy -- the ex-boyfriend -- into the residence.

But he says he didn't dump the syrup.

Hard to make a clean break, I guess, when stuff gets sticky.
