Thirst overtakes common sense in Florida case

This makes sense ... might as well finish the beer before going to jail.

This is from the Miami Herald:

George R. Linthicum II (a.k.a. George Linthicum III) was waiting outside the store and followed the deputy inside, according to the report ... Linthicum, 47, of Bayou George, told the deputy that he had come into the store earlier and drank some beer. He said he didn’t have money to pay for the beer. He added that if he was going to jail, then he was going to finish the beer first ... when the deputy told him to come along, the report said, Linthicum became argumentative, raised his voice and “with an aggressive tone stated that he was going to finish the beer.”

I mean, think of all the sober people in China!
