OCEAN CITY -- Last Monday around 3 a.m., Michael Autry, 27, of Bel Air, Md., walked into the 7-11 store on 94th Street. Autry, who was intoxicated, police said, took a bag of chips and three bottles of Gatorade and brought them to the counter.

When the clerk told him how much he owed, Autry was only able to produce one dollar bill. The clerk told him it was not enough. Autry became frustrated and pulled out a baggie of suspected marijuana out of his pocket, police said. He reached into the bag and put about half of it on the counter.

The clerk told him he would not accept marijuana as payment and told him he was calling the police. At that point, Autry became angry and allegedly smashed one of the bottles on the counter, breaking the bottle and spilling the drink on the floor. He then ran from the store, leaving the merchandise and marijuana behind.

OCPD officer PFC Christine Plant and her K-9 partner, Jester, arrived on the scene a few minutes later. The pair tracked Autry to his hiding spot in the dunes behind the Pyramid Condominium.

Autry was placed under arrest and charged with misdemeanor theft and possession of marijuana, police said.

Haha I remember reading an arrest file when I worked for corrections where a woman tried to use some tweak to buy a bottle of Sprite at 7/11. Almost identical story. :laugh:

Should be destruction of property. Realistically, that charge will be dropped.
