Police in Austin, Texas, have arrested a man who they say broke into a
business, stole a couple of sausages and fell asleep.
According to an arrest affidavit, 28-year old Ricardo Cardona tried for
20 minutes to kick down the door at Hudson Meats before finally
succeeding.
“He comes over to the cooler and grabs a couple sausages. Goes back
outside, then comes back inside,” said Ashley Booth, office manager at
Hudson Meats.
Surveillance cameras captured Cardona walk over to the meat cooler,
quickly realize it wasn’t for him, then turn back.
Cardona walked into the office at about 5:30am, found a coat, kicked his feet up on a desk and fell asleep. When employees showed up for their shift at about 7am, they found the suspect and called police. According to the affidavit, Cardona woke up to the sight of officers and said “I don’t work here, sir.”
He is charged with Criminal Trespass.
Cardona told police he was out drinking with friends the night before
and was likely cold before entering Hudson Meats. Police don’t think the
suspect had any plans to steal from the business. He also didn't eat
the sausages.
This all happened during Hudson Meats’ busiest time, rifle season, when
hunters bring their trophies to be processed for meals.
