BETHLEHEM, Pa. — A student accused of breaking into a friend’s Pennsylvania home while wearing a yellow Teletubby costume and stealing leftover food is facing charges.

Police say the 6-foot-2, 310-pound Lehigh University student, Terez Owens, was dressed as the Laa-Laa character from the BBC children’s series when he damaged a door early Sunday in Bethlehem. They say he went into the friend’s refrigerator and dumped Chinese food into a “man purse” before leaving.

Before the incident, Owens posted a photo to his Instagram saying, “what’s a n—gga gotta do for some general tso” which has since been taken down.

No charges were filed initially. But police Chief Mark DiLuzio tells Easton’s The Express-Times newspaper the home’s occupants apparently changed their minds after the landlord became involved.

DiLuzio says a disorderly conduct and criminal mischief summons will be sent to the 20-year-old suspect — and the unusual nature of the case isn’t lost on him.

He says: “Not that many Teletubbies get arrested. You can’t make it up.”

This isn’t Owens’ first run-in with the law. The ex-college football player was cited this past August for purchasing alcohol as a minor.
