Blame It On the Weather

Check out this headline from the Brockton Enterprise:

Cold weather blamed for Taunton store break-in

Oh, really?

A Bridgewater man was charged after he smashed the door of a Brooks pharmacy Sunday to escape the freezing cold temperatures, police said.

Drew M. Taylor, 19, of 455 Vernon St., admitted to police that he smashed the door to Brooks pharmacy at 175 Dean St. around 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

Taylor told police he was freezing and didn't know what else to do, so he picked up a cement planter and hurled it through the front door.

He also admitted to police that he has been drinking too much.

I'm guessing "Shit-faced loser blamed for Taunton store break-in" didn't make it past the editors.
