Wisconsin man spends night drinking convenience store's beer cooler

A Wisconsin man was arrested Wednesday after he spent the night drinking beer and malt beverages in a convenience store cooler.

Jeremy Van Ert, 38, stopped into a Kwik Trip convenience store in Marshfield, Wisconsin to buy beer just before midnight on Tuesday evening. When he went into the store's cooler to grab the beverages, he says the cooler door locked behind him.

Believing he was locked in the cooler for the night, Van Ert decided to make the most of his situation. He reportedly drank three cans of Four Loko and an 18-ounce can of beer.

However, police say that the Kwik Trip is open 24 hours a day, and that Van Ert just needed to knock on the cooler's glass door to get the attention of an attendant.

3. Some more info and a mug shot

"Authorities said Van Ert walked inside the Marshfield Kwik Trip on Central Avenue on Tuesday night, before midnight.

They said the man was automatically locked inside when the clock hit midnight.

"The subject found himself locked in the beer cooler, knew that Kwik Trip would not sell him any beer, so he decided to remain in the beer cooler," said Marshfield Police Chief Rick Gramza. "A customer came by the beer cooler at about 6 a.m. and saw him inside." "

4. Yum. Four Loko

must be some good, good beer.

Heck, he should have gone with Sam Adams at minimum.

5. There's a saying about how you only "rent" beer ...

and most coolers don't have urinals.

6. The guy has great taste in beverages, does he not?

One 18-ounce Icehouse and three Four Lokos was his consumption. I don't know about y'all, but if they locked MY ass in the beer cave overnight, I would be drinking the good stuff.
