[February 14, 2009]  PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- Police on Florida's east coast arrested an 18-year-old for stealing a decorative apple from his teacher's desk and refusing to give it back.

HardwareA Port St. Lucie High School student was arrested for petty theft and disruption of a school function on Tuesday. Both are misdemeanors.

Officers said the student was playing with a spring and when his teacher confiscated it he took a red, glass apple from the teacher's desk. Officers told him he would face charges if he didn't return the apple.

The student responded, "So what, I'm not leaving without my spring," according to a report.

Officers took a picture of the apple as evidence. The student was released from jail.
