POLK COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — It wasn’t happy hour, but one man was eager to start drinking after he was caught on camera stealing the ingredients to make a Screwdriver out of a Polk County apartment.
According to deputies, the man was seen on Nov. 23 around 5:30 a.m., sneaking into someone’s apartment through a secondary door. He even had the decency of shutting the light off after he left.
