Homeowner Lured Thief Out with Beer

Posted by Alex in Crime & Law, Food & Drinks on July 14, 2009 at 6:46 pm


When an intoxicated man broke into a man’s home in Bar Harbor, Maine, the homeowner had to bribe the man to leave with (ironically, non-alcoholic) beer!

Scott Cote, 22, remained in jail Monday afternoon after he allegedly broke into a man’s Cleftstone Road home and woke him up around 4 a.m. Monday, police wrote in a report about the incident. The homeowner, after waking up to find Cote in his bedroom, convinced Cote to leave by giving him a nonalcoholic beer, police indicated.

“[The resident] gave suspect a [nonalcoholic] beer to bribe him to leave the residence,” the police report said.

Bill Trotter of the Bangor Daily News has the story: Link

    I guess non-alcoholic beer does have a purpose after all!

    To bad Maine doesn't have a "shoot first" law.

    What is this world coming to. I always felt a certain safe security that my parents reside in Maine. It is a good thing my Dad is a level headed man.

    who the heck keeps non-alcoholic beer? I thought it was a long standing joke made by the alcohol industry.
