A Florida man quickly found out the answer after asking a store clerk “What would happen if I stole some beer?”
Sebastian police said 33-year-old Christopher Maxwell entered a convenience store at 2:30 a.m. Friday.
He was quickly told he couldn’t buy beer because alcohol sales are banned in the city between 1 and 7 a.m.
In response to Maxwell’s question, the clerk replied she would call 911. Still, Maxwell grabbed two 18-packs of Bud Light and left.
The clerk did as she said she would.
Police found Maxwell nearby with an 18-pack in each hand.
Officers said he struggled when they tried to arrest him.
He remained jailed Sunday on charges of petty theft and battery on a police officer.
