A man in his twenties stole two cases of beer from the Kroger store on Memorial Blvd. on Wednesday. No, this is not a breaking news story, but it is a bit unusual. The culprit didn’t even take the good stuff. The store employee who reported the theft told police he took two 24-cases of Natural Ice beer. The value of the cold beverage was a measly $49.98. So far, the cheap beer thief has not been caught.
