(AP) — A Lincoln man has been sentenced to nearly a year in jail for writing more than $1,200 in bad checks to buy a lot of pizza.

Damaun P. Goods was sentenced Tuesday. He has served at least 180 days in jail, and he may finish his sentence soon with good time.

Goods pleaded guilty to theft after he was accused of writing nearly 30 bad checks to several businesses that serve pizza. Police say he wrote the checks from his closed account, as well as one that belonged to a relative.

Goods says he used the checks because he needed to eat and his oven didn’t work.
