Posted by samzenpus on from the a-world-of-pure-imagination dept.

Jad Holmes, 18, is scheduled to be in Middletown Municipal Court on Wednesday, charged with two counts of telecommunications fraud, for allegedly ordering more than $37,000 of candy online to be charged to Middletown High School. Holmes is accused of placing two orders -- for $19,880 and $17,372, respectively -- through a Michigan-based company. He's being held in Middletown City Jail on a bond of $30,700. Officials say they are willing to accept candy as payment.
