Sometimes the urge to eat good General Tso's chicken is too strong.

In this installment of embarrassing Halloween stories, 20-year-old Lehigh Universtity student Terez Sharek Owens was arrested on Sunday after breaking into his friend's home and stealing Chinese food from the fridge while wearing a yellow Teletubby costume. Owens was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.

According to The Morning Call, police received several phone calls from residents just before 2 a.m. reporting that someone had entered the house by breaking the glass on the home's rear door. The victims told police that the man took the leftovers, put them into a black purse and left the residence.

Police say that the food thief cut his hand on the broken glass and tracked blood throughout the home.

Owens left the scene of the crime before police arrived, but when they went to his home, Owens answered the door in his bloody, yellow Teletubby costume holding the black purse.

Poor Laa-Laa had the munchies.
