RIVERTON, Wyo. - Police say a man suspected of stealing a bottle of Schnapps from a Wyoming grocery store didn't have the best escape route planned.
Riverton police say the 26-year-old ran out of the store after grabbing the bottle of booze and a package of cough drops Wednesday and hid in a nearby building, which happened to be the police station.
Police say the man then ran out of the police station, but not before a dispatcher had spied him on the station's surveillance camera and alerted officers.
The man, who police say was drunk, was caught soon after. He was taken into custody on preliminary charges of resisting arrest and shoplifting.
This story would take place in the great state of Wyoming. This is one of the few states left where you can drive a car and all your passengers can legally drink. T his guy was clearly with his buddy all day drinking and driving around town. They ran out of booze, but spent all their money on gas. So they did what all of us have done before I'm sure.(when we weren't 21). Run into liquor store and run out. Drunk idiot runs into police station, may as well call them and turn yourself in. Is it really worth it stealing schnapps if your going to rob them rob them with some class.
