Valery Fefelkin was convicted Oct. 4 of stealing two pork chops worth $38 from Andrei and Maria Osipov and sentenced to one year of community service, the Moscow Times reports.
Fefelkin will also have to pay the couple back for the meat.
He is unemployed but Chertanovsky district prosecutor Olga Lavrikova said Tuesday Fefelkin would be assisted in finding a job and 10 percent of his wages would go toward restitution.
The Osipovs, who long suspected Fefelkin was stealing their food, are still living in the apartment with him.
