Something To Chew On

Well, this guy is a real genius. While waiting at the police station for his friend to be processed on a drunk driving arrest, a Rotterdam, New York man decided he wanted a piece of gum.

So he took the gum machine. From the lobby of the police station. Where there are surveillance cameras. And police officers.

(Adam) Jewett was riding in Zachary Peek's vehicle when it was stopped by an officer about 3 a.m. in Rotterdam, police said. A dispatcher watching the surveillance system saw Jewett carry away the gumball machine. He told the officer processing Peek on the driving while intoxicated charge. Patrolman Stephen Dixon found Jewett in the parking lot with the gumball machine.

I'm just guessing here, but could it be that the young Mr. Jewett had also been imbibing?
