"Yeah, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got in this predicament."

The man is Martin Trimble. One day last week, he walked into a Durgan City convenience store and attempted to steal a four-pack of beer with a knife. Martin didn't think things through, because one of the employees fled the store to hold the door shut. When Martin tried escaping, the store owner lowered the security shutters as Martin attempted his best "Han Solo escaping the Death Star" by sliding under the shutters.

SPOILER: Harrison Ford utilizes stunt doubles.

Detective Sergeant Paul Mawson arrived on the scene to arrest the epic fail of a thug, but not before dropping an all-time cop pun: "It wasn’t the most difficult arrest we have ever made. To be honest, it was an open and shut case."

Martin had nothing left to do but chug the beer he attempted to steal. Might as well, right? He's already charged with attempted robbery. An extra £4.75 for a four-pack on top of that won't hurt. That's a little over six dollars in normal, American money.

It is not a total loss for Mawson, though. My man has earned the #1 spot in LWC's Favorite Beer Related Arrests and LWC's Favorite Shoplifting fails.

The previous winner for beer arrests was the dude who got arrested for DUI while dressed like a giant can of Bud Light.

The derpiest shoplifter went to the guy who attempted to steal $18000 worth of Luis Vuitton, but confused a door for a window.
