Doofus Of The Day #232

Today's Doofus is from Maine.

A man suspected of breaking into a Maine restaurant will have to get used to jailhouse food after workers at the eatery discovered lobsters and wine missing - and the suspect asleep on a bench.

Police say Paul Bruneau broke into the Portland Lobster Co. through a rear window and stuffed his pockets with cash before chowing down on the better part of 11 prepared lobsters worth about $300. He washed it all down with a white wine.

The Portland Press Herald reports Bruneau also left a refrigerator open, causing about $1,000 worth of food to be thrown away.

Bruneau, who was already out on bail, was being held Friday at the Cumberland County Jail.

Lesson #1 for aspirant restaurant robbers: don't fall asleep after over-indulging at the scene of the crime!

Eleven lobsters??? Sheesh! And he ate them all himself! That was very shellfish of him . . .
