When asked for identification, the individual presented a Chik-Fil-A card and attempted to start his vehicle with a house key, which became twisted in the process. The Shrewsbury Police Department reported, “He was charged with Driving while Intoxicated after it was determined his BAC was almost three times the legal limit.”
Another case involved, a 56-year-old St. Louis man caught stealing $100 in merchandise from Walmart. He had hidden unpaid items in his clothing even though he had purchased other goods.
