Thief hides out in police station in badly-thought out plan

Here's a useful piece of advice if you're planning on hiding out after committing a crime: it's probably not a good idea to try and seek refuge in a police station.

 

Unfortunately for a man suspected of stealing a bottle of Schnapps from a Wyoming grocery store, he clearly missed the 'planning your escape route' class in criminal school.

Riverton police say the 26-year-old ran out of the store after grabbing the bottle of liquor and a package of cough drops Wednesday, and then hid in a nearby building. Unhappily for him, that building happened to be the police station.

Police say the man then ran out of the police station again - but not before a dispatcher had spied him on the station's surveillance camera and alerted officers.

The man, who authorities say was drunk, was caught soon after. He was taken into custody on preliminary charges of resisting arrest and shoplifting.
