A man’s decision about where to relieve himself ending up costing the state more than $1,700 Thursday, police said.
Fredericksburg police spokeswoman Natatia Bledsoe said the unidentified man entered the ABC store at 1271 Jefferson Davis Highway about 5:40 p.m. and asked to use the bathroom. A store employee denied the request, pointing out that the store does not have public restrooms.
The man went on into the store, Bledsoe said, pretending to shop. He eventually left without buying anything.
A short time later, the employee went to the aisle where the man had been and found numerous wet bottles of gin and a puddle of urine in the floor. The bottles ranged in price from $4.95 to $40 and had a total value of more than $1,700. All of them had to be destroyed.
A store surveillance tape showed the man urinating in the store. Bledsoe said police hope to retrieve a picture that might help identify the man, who was described as Hispanic, in his 20’s wearing white shorts with a red stripe and a blue jean jacket.
If identified, the man would face charges of destruction of property and urinating in public.
