This poor guy just can't win. He loses his job, he shoplifts a beer and gets caught. He then demands to be allowed to drink the beer before he is taken into custody. That doesn't go well.
Can't a redneck get a break?!
Officials: Man demands to drink beer before arrest
BAYOU GEORGE, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities in the Florida Panhandle say they arrested a convenience store shoplifter who demanded to drink the 12-ounce beer he had stolen before being taken into custody.
The Bay County Sheriff's office says the man told the deputy he had recently lost his job of 13 years and wanted to drink beer. The man became combative when the deputy wouldn't let him finish it.
George R. Linthicum II was charged Wednesday with shoplifting, battery, possession of marijuana not more than 20 grams and smuggling contraband into a detention facility.
Bay County Jail officials said Thursday that Linthicum II was in jail and did not yet have an attorney.
He should of just walked into the store, grabbed a twelve pack, opened it up and started drinking one beer. When the clerk, says "Sir, you can't do that." He should've replied "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm gonna buy the twelve pack, but I want to look around some more, and I just lost my job. I guess I'm not thinking." Then he should have drunk some more, and eventually gone up to the register, as the clerk is explaining that alcohol cannot be consumed on the premises. Again apologizing he could fish around for money, all the time drinking, and bemoaning his lot in life.
He probably still would have been arrested, but he might have at least drank a beer first.
I mean times are tough, and I'd be hard pressed to deny anyone who just lost their job a brewski.
