Man Drinks Beer In Solon Market District Bathroom, Shoplifts Beer

SOLON, OH — A Streetsboro man allegedly drank a beer in the Market District bathroom and then walked out of the store with two more, unpaid for beers. The man has been cited for misdemeanor theft.

According to police, a little before noon on November 15, the man was spotted walking into the men's room at Market District carrying three beers. He tried to conceal the cans in a newspaper, an employee of the grocery store told officers.

Employees checked the bathroom after the man left and found an empty can of Milwaukee's Best. Staffers confronted the man and he threw $2 at an employee and then left. The man may have had the other two beers concealed on his person.

Police checked the surveillance video from the store, and did interviews with employees. Investigators identified the Streetsboro man and then served him a misdemeanor citation for theft.
