It’s alleged a suspect then tried to return the beer at the same location for cash, but was refused after a store employee recognized him from earlier.
Police say the man left the store with the beer and took a taxi to another beer store only to find it closed.
They say he then left the beer in the cab and tried to flee without paying the fare.
A 43-year-old man faces charges of theft, fraud and breach of probation.
