ST. LOUIS, July 2 (UPI) -- A Missouri man was sentenced to seven years in prison for two crimes, including looting the piggy bank of his 4-year-old nephew.
Baron Calmese, 31, entered guilty pleas for two charges, one of which was the theft of more than $500 after he requested $2 in quarters while visiting his sister's home in July 2012 and was told he could find the coins in the child's bank.
