Judge delays trial for 2 charged with stealing from Ohio hot dog shop made famous on 'M-A-S-H'

TOLEDO, Ohio — A trial has been delayed for two company officials accused of stealing thousands of dollars from an Ohio hot dog eatery made famous on the TV series "M-A-S-H."

The pair charged with stealing from Tony Packo's Inc. were a company controller and the founder's grandson, Tony Packo III. They have pleaded not guilty.

A judge rescheduled their trial during a pretrial hearing Tuesday in Toledo. Court records show the date was pushed back from June 18 to August 13 because of a conflict with the court's schedule.

Actor Jamie Farr made Tony Packo's famous in the 1970s when he portrayed a homesick U.S. soldier in the Korean War who longed for the eatery's hot dogs.

The restaurant chain was sold this year after a yearlong family feud over ownership.
