An Awful Lot of Effort for a Beer Run
Fla. beer-craver smashes wall for brew
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man who said he is an addict and would do anything to get some beer was taken into custody today on suspicion he used a hammer to smash through a wall leading to a store's refrigerator, according to FLORIDA TODAY news partner WKMG Local 6 News.
Orlando police said the unidentified man tunneled through a concrete block wall after 3:30 a.m. at Young's Food Market located on Parramore near Carter Street and crawled through.
He then smashed another bathroom wall inside the store in an attempt to get into the store's cooler.
The owner of the store, who lives above the business, heard the noise and called 9-1-1. Officers were waiting for the man when he came outside, Local 6 News reported.
The culprit ran but was brought down by a police dog.
"It kind of restores the faith that we are here to help the people," Orlando police Officer Darnel Hill said. "We actually caught a bad guy who was doing something he should not have been doing. I am sure the business owner is appreciative."
The man will be jailed after being treated at a hospital for the dog bite injury.
