Law roundup: Godzilla returns in ‘Botched Beer Run’

A drunk man in a red truck reportedly went to the store to buy beer. When employees told him they wouldn’t sell it to him because it was after 2 a.m. he put the beer down and left. But it didn’t end there. He allegedly went back into the store and went full Godzilla, destroying a 12-pack of beer, toppling a display and knocking down items in an aisle. The man claimed he put the beer down after being told he couldn’t buy it and the attendant followed him around like he was going to steal something and “had words” with the employee, believing this happened due to discrimination.

A male reportedly sent a friend to pick up items from a store but on their way out they were accused of stealing Pokemon cards, got scared and ran — far away from all the items they paid for with his money. Although he wanted his money back and called the police, he was hesitant to provide an officer with more information, concerned about whether or not his friend was being charged with theft. The officer advised his friend to call in when the line disconnected. On the callback, a female answered claiming not to know him. He then called back on a number belonging to her and was advised of his options to get “his money” back.

Someone with a gun reportedly threatened a man staying at an Airbnb to get off the property in another county and he called the police wanting help to find a hotel he could afford and then asked about “emergency placement,” noting he was almost out of gas and had been suffering from heat stroke and vomiting. Although he wanted help, he refused to provide his name and became angry when asked for his phone number, apparently unaware he’d be asked questions about his situation.
