Not too smart

A Minden man, arrested by Dixie Inn authorities after an alligator chased him from his hiding place, has pleaded guilty to theft and resisting an officer.

Terry Jones, 23, was arrested September 22, by Dixie Inn Police and charged with misdemeanor theft and resisting an officer. On November 3, Jones was sentenced to serve 30 days for the charge of theft and 20 days for resisting. The sentences are to run concurrent.

On the day of Jones’ arrest, Dixie Inn officers were called to Thirsty’s Liquor Store after employees observed Jones steal a bottle of Grey Goose vodka. When the officers arrived on scene, Jones, who was sitting in a vehicle on the premises, removed his pants and ran across the street where he entered into a bar pit to hide. A short time later, a large alligator prompted Jones’ quick exit from the water.

This guy must have a real alcohol addiction to try this stunt. I have seen the Dixie Inn exit off of I-20 east of Shreveport but it did not occur to me that it was the name of a community and not an inn. It would be hard to make this story up down to the name of Thirsty's Liquor Store.
