CINCINNATI -- A judge in Cincinnati says he has seen long criminal records before, but this one was notable.
Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Ted Berry gave 41-year-old Norman Holmes a 90-day jail sentence and a lecture Monday after Holmes' 109th misdemeanor conviction.
Police arresting Holmes for stealing toothpaste from a drug store Sunday found he also was wanted for taking vodka, a screwdriver and air freshener from a convenience store.
Holmes pleaded guilty to a theft charge but had no answer when the judge asked why he didn't become productive instead of stealing.
Records show nearly a third of Holmes' convictions were for theft. He also has served five short prison stints on minor felony charges such as breaking and entering and for drugs.
