BAR HARBOR, Maine -Police said a homeowner in Maine used a beer to entice an intoxicated intruder to leave. The intruder apparently didn't realize that it was a nonalcoholic beer.
Bar Harbor police said the homeowner awoke early Monday to find 22-year-old Scott Cote in the bedroom and used the beer to convince him to carry on.
Police said they found Cote breaking into cars a short time later and arrested him after he fled into some woods.
Police arrested Cote on charges of burglary, criminal mischief, operating a motor vehicle after revocation and violating the conditions of release.
Cote was returned to the Hancock County Jail after an initial appearance in court Tuesday. No lawyer has been assigned to represent him.
Good thinking buddy. Way to have your head in the right place. If a drunk breaks into your house the only way to get him out is to bribe him with alcohol. They'll do anything to get a fix. I'm curious at how the guy did it though. Did he wave a six pack around and then toss it in the front yard? That's the only way I can imagine it working. If you let the guy drink the beer in the house he would never leave. It's like feeding a stray cat. Also, good call on giving the guy non-alcoholic beer. No since wasting the good stuff on some direlect.
