We’ve never really given it much thought, but we’d like to believe that if we were ever involved in a standoff with the police, our demands would be a little sexier than a food and beverage combo that is popular among elementary school children.
According to WCSH, a 30-year-old home invasion suspect in Maine who hid in the woods for several days last week finally surrendered to police Sunday night, but only after they gave him Mountain Dew, chocolate milk and pizza in exchange.
Police say Michael Crockett Jr. was one of three men who broke into Deborah Nielson’s Buxton home last month. When Nielson came home during the robbery, the men tied her up. Crockett is also accused of hitting the 60-year-old homeowner in the face with a belt sander.
Crockett’s attorney says there is no way her client was involved in the home invasion or beating since he was shooting stick at a bar miles away in Portland at the same time, and two friends have signed affidavits saying as much.
One of those friends? You guessed it: a woman who shares a child with Crockett and lives with him in his parents’ house. Seems legit.
We searched long and hard but were unable to determine if Crockett has ever made a good decision.
Although, I suppose he could have asked for something worse, like a cat and some condiments: Horrible Italian Man Arrested for Adopting Cats and Eating Them
