Too stinky for Jail
By Lauren Pack A Middletown teen was charged with burglary and a curfew violation early Monday morning, June 8, for allegedly breaking into an old supermarket. But 16-year-old was spared at least one night behind bars thanks to a skunk.
The boy and his 18-year-old cousin were spotted up to some mischief shortly after midnight walking in the alley behind Texas Avenue.
An area resident said the boys pried open boards in back of the old McGee’s market and were able to get in.
The 16-year-old went into the building, while his older cousin stood lookout on the railroad tracks, according to a witness and the Middletown police report.
Officers stopped the boys and arrested the 18 year-old for complicity to burglary and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
After he was charged, the 16-year-old was released to his parents because he has been sprayed by a skunk.
Crime doesn’t pay but a skunk will likely keep you out of jail for a while.
