Wisconsin man ordered to stay sober gets locked in beer cooler

WISN:

MARSHFIELD, Wis. —

A man who found himself trapped inside a convenience store’s beer cooler when it automatically closed and locked after selling time helped himself to some of the product, police said.

Jeremy Van Ert, 38, of Marshfield, faces a retail theft charged and was behind bars Thursday on a probation hold.

Authorities said Van Ert went into a Kwik Trip store on Tuesday night just before beer sales ended at midnight. When the clock struck 12, the cooler closed and Van Ert was locked inside.  MORE

  1. there’s more jokes in this story than I can wrap my head around (… ‘course, that ain’t sayin’ much)
    he got locked in his personal paradise & all he had was a bumper of Icehouse Beer & 3 Four Lokos (whatever that is)? … Al Bundy sez ‘turn in your man-badge!

  2. Would society really give a shit if the charges were dropped if he just repaid the damages?

    NOPE! That’s a couple hundred dollars the police could give to the city to help balance city budgets, which is their MAIN occupation, since they don’t actually stop crime, they just show up to take the police report.
