MARSHFIELD, Wis. (AP) — When a central Wisconsin man got locked inside a convenience store cooler overnight, he made the best of it, knocking back a beer and three more malt beverages.

USA Today Network-Wisconsin reports that police were called to a Kwik Trip in Marshfield Wednesday morning. A customer had noticed the 38-year-old man inside the cooler around 6 a.m., and when employees opened it, he fled.

When police found and arrested the man, he told them he went into the store to buy beer and got locked inside the cooler just before midnight Tuesday. He told them he figured he might just as well stay inside and drink.

3. If locked in a convenience store all night I would drink beer too.

But I wouldn't choose to drink Coors Light.

4. Back when I used to drink

The thing I liked about Coors Light is I could drink as much as I want without passing out I once while I was in the Army drank coors light all night to 6 in the morning went to the PX and got another case of Coors Light.

And my waistline afterwards.

8. Oh thanks, I didn't realize the written version conatined more details than the video story..

He was locked in there all night and that's all he drank? If you are the store owner consider that a small price to pay to avoid a lawsuit for locking someone in.
