"Police in Brooksville, Florida say that they arrested Timothy Carr over the weekend for driving drunk inside a local Walmart.

An arrest report obtained by The Smoking Gun on Monday indicated that Carr, 48, had helped himself to an alcoholic beverage while operating one of the store’s motorized shopping carts at around 9 p.m. on Sunday.

“The defendant did enter Walmart and select two packages of Daily Daiquiri and proceed to drink them in the store,” the charging document stated. “The defendant was driving a Walmart owned electric cart. While driving the cart, the defendant knocked several items off the shelves causing damage to the items.”

“The defendant did not have money to pay for the Daily Daiquiri drink that he consumed,” the report added."

Nothing going on, what's a guy to do?

That town is about 50 miles from where I currently hang my hat. Trust me, after about 7 in the evening, Wally World is probably the local hot spot. And, other than the folks employed in the local hospitality industry and, arguably, some of the younger nurses and techs, this guy is a Yoot, A Rebel Without A Cause. Heh. His grandparents probably live there too.

The local Chamber of Commerce ought to hire him as a poster boy. It might liven the place up, and it would definitely please his parole officer.

Edit: My mistake - Sunday night, not Monday.
