Winder Resident Reports Witnessing Liquor Snatch while Intoxicated

On Nov. 6, 2011, a Winder police officer met with a city resident reporting a burglary at his home on Capitol Avenue.

The complainant said he saw an individual he knew enter his residence through the open front door and take two bottles of liquor, Canadian Mist and Hennessy, valued at $15.99 and $28 respectively.

The complainant told the officer the person who took his liquor was “evil” before admitting he was extremely drunk at the time he made the 911 call reporting the burglary. The complainant said he intended to press charges.
