A SHOPLIFTER from Hardwicke could end up behind bars for stealing two chicken fillets and a bottle of fruit juice.
Sean Markey, 38, pleaded guilty to stealing the goods worth £15 from Aldi on Friday night.
Markey is serving a 12-month suspended prison sentence for another offence.
His jail term is suspended for 18 months.
Police were called to the supermarket at 8.20pm after reports of a shoplifter 'kicking off' after he had been apprehended by security staff.
After a struggle, a bag split open spilling the chicken fillets and juice onto the floor.
There was an alleged headbutt directed towards staff, but no complaint was made.
He has been released on bail but must return to face the charges at Gloucester Crown Court next month.
He will appear in court on Thursday, August 8.
