A self employed man stole meat from a town store, a court heard.
Lincoln magistrates were told that the defendant went into Asda in North Hykeham and put products in a trolley worth £37.37 before walking out without paying.
Mark Holmes, prosecuting, said he was stopped, arrested, and admitted what he had done to police.
The 45 year-old, from Lincoln, pleaded guilty to theft on July 5. He had nothing to say to the court.
Magistrates fined him £110, ordered him to pay £60 costs and a victim surcharge of £15.
