Bender Of The Week (5)
What would you do if you found yourself locked in a walk-in beer fridge around midnight? Help yourself to some of the contents, perhaps? Well, this is what Jeremy van Erl did when he found himself locked in at a Kwik Trip convenience store in Marshfield, Wisconsin, I read this week.
Finding himself in this pickle at just before midnight, he made no attempt to summon assistance, eventually being discovered by the staff the following morning, some six hours later. By this time, he had helped himself to a 500 ml Icehouse beer and three cans of Four Loko. On being released van Erl fled the store, knocking over three thirty-packs of Busch beer, before eventually being apprehended and charged with retail theft.
Van Erl may well have been unusually restrained in his drinking in what was far from a Kwik Trip as the convenience store’s fridge probably didn’t contain a convenience. A golden opportunity missed, I feel.
