Man identified by orange juice sentenced for burglary

In New York Mills, Minnesota, a man has been sentenced to two years in prison for a 2022 burglary after being identified through a jug of orange juice. The incident occurred on August 5, 2022, when authorities responded to a burglary at a home on State Highway 106. Among the stolen items were a handgun and a jug of orange juice.
