Two Rock Hill, SC men, arriving in a Buick Regal, attempted to shoplift some cold alcoholic beverages from a local Food Lion when suddenly, they ran out of gas. The shoplifters pilfered the beer from the Food Lion located on Heckle Boulevard. The car was driven by a Rock Hillwoman who was identified by a Food Lion worker. The employee was also able to provide the police with a license plate number.
Police found the unfortunate threesome stranded on the side of McConnells Highway just a little while later; their car having run out of gas. They identified the license plate number and drove the couple to theYork County jail. Here, the man allegedly attempted to spit in the face of the officer. The woman stated that she did not know the beer was stolen, but mentioned, however, that it was weird that her friends had beer on Sunday.
