Dumb Crime: Burglar Found Passed Out In Bar After Drinking EnoughBeer

THIRSTY thief Adam Bell helps himself to booze after breaking into a
pub– but he is about to get the worst hangover of his life. He downed
so much of his loot he fell asleep on the floor and was caught
red-handed by the landlord hours later.
The dozy burglar downed so much ale he fell asleep on the bar floor
and was caught red-handed by the landlord hours later. Bell, 36, was
arrested and jailed for six months. These CCTV pictures show him
getting drunk in the pub after closing time.
At one point he stood at the bar as though he was waiting to be
served. Later, he leaned over the bar and poured beer down his throat
straight from the tap.
Career criminal Bell also smashed fruit machines and a pool table at
the pub and pocketed the money that was inside.
The tanked up thief was found sleeping at Em's Bar in Tamworth,
Staffs, at 7.30am the next day by stunned landlord MikeRoberts and pal
Wesley Roberts. Wesley, 35, said: "It was scary. We saw a body on the
floor, and we didn't know if he wasalive or dead.
"I shoved him and he woke up. That's when we realised it was a burglar
and called the police."
Wesley and Mike held on to Bell, who was also found with three wraps
of crack cocaine, until officers arrived.
Bell, from Tamworth, broke into the pub on May 29, and was hauled
before magistrates in nearby Burton upon Trent, where he was sentenced
after admitting burglary and drug possession.
