BAR HARBOR, Maine – Police said a homeowner in Maine used a beer to entice an intoxicated intruder to leave. The intruder apparently didn't realize that it was a nonalcoholic beer. Bar Harbor police said the homeowner awoke early Monday to find 22-year-old Scott Cote in the bedroom and used the beer to convince him to carry on.

Police said they found Cote breaking into cars a short time later and arrested him after he fled into some woods......

I would have sat down and drank it with him... oh wait. It was non-alcoholic. I probably would have killed him

The home owner should be glad he gave him a non-alcholic beer as the guy would have probably sued him for contributing to his drunken behaviour.
