DOWNTOWN JACKSON — A man appeared Tuesday in city court on accusations of stealing more than $130 worth of meat from a Jackson supermarket.

When police confronted Wofford, they say he admitted to taking the meat. Police found several packs of meat in the floorboard of the maroon Nissan rental car Wofford was driving, according to the affidavit. The total value of the meat was listed at $139. Wofford faces one count of shoplifting, and his bond is set at $3,000.
