Let me pose you a riddle: what do a truck, a newly built liquor store and Lewis Carroll? Until Saturday evening, the answer would be «nothing.» However, this weekend in the city of Crestview, Florida, was completely unbelievable arrest, the cause of which was the pogrom with a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But, everything in order. On Saturday, the police of the city of Crestview detained the 32-year-old Matthew Jones, a resident of Freeport, who was throwing cinder blocks from the scaffolding.
When police arrived at the scene, they found Jones in the truck, which he stole from a construction site liquor store near Walmart. The offender did not even think to surrender: he sent a truck to the police when they tried to detain him.
The confrontation did not last long, and ultimately the servants of the law failed to deal with John. The man was taken at gunpoint and arrested. It was later revealed that he not only stole the truck, but also damaged scaffolding, fencing and equipment. The total damage done to the detainees, estimated at $129,000, including the efforts necessary to bring the construction site.
When Jones asked why he trashed the place, the man replied that he «had a problem» with the building of a Walmart that sold the alcohol. He also said that his name is Alice Wonderland (eng. Alice Wonderland), and that the crime he pushed the blue Smoking caterpillar.
In the famous children’s book by Lewis Carroll «Alice’s adventures in Wonderland«, a character known as the Caterpillar, is depicted Smoking a hookah. The caterpillar talking to Alice, the main character of the story, constantly exhaling smoke at her.
According to police, before the incident, Jones was on probation. Now he is charged with Grand larceny, using the machine to damage other people’s property, damage in excess of $ 1,000 and violation of probation.
