A former banquet hall worker is facing charges for allegedly stuffing his pockets with cash and food that didn't belong to him.
Nathan Diehl was arraigned early Tuesday morning in connection with a burglary that happened just after 2:30 a.m. Saturday at the Meadows banquet hall, 1770 Meadows Rd., in Lower Saucon Twp., Northampton Co., officials said.
Diehl, 34, was taken into custody Monday, two days after he was identified on a surveillance tape by Meadows owner Russell Lebkuecher, police said.
Lebkuecher told police that Diehl used to work at the Meadows, officials said.
In the video, the burglar is seen taking money, food and other items from a desk in the Meadows office and putting them into his pockets, according to court documents.
Police did not say how much money and food were taken by the burglar.
Diehl, of 1747 Railroad Lane, Hellertown, was charged with burglary, criminal trespass, theft and receiving stolen property.
He was committed to Northampton County Prison on $30,000 bail, according to court documents.
A preliminary hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. Aug. 1.
