A man suspected of stealing a bottle of Schnapps from a Wyoming grocery store didn't have the best escape, as he fled into a police station and landed himself in trouble.


Riverton police say the 26-year-old ran out of the store after grabbing the bottle of booze and a package of cough drops Wednesday and hid in a nearby building, which happened to be the police station.


Police say the man then ran out of the police station, but not before a dispatcher had spied him on the station's surveillance camera and alerted officers.


The man, who police say was drunk, was caught soon after. He was taken into custody on preliminary charges of resisting arrest and shoplifting.
