South Dakota Man Arrested for Trying to Save Beer in a Fire
In the friendly war between North and South Dakota, North Dakota just gained major points thanks to a very dumb individual in South Dakota.
KELO TV reports that on Sunday at an apartment fire in Sioux Falls, three people were treated for injuries.
Then there was the resident idiot who attempted to go back into the burning building in order to save his beer. According to The Smoking Gun, 56 year old Michael Casteel was told by firefighters what most people with common sense would already know. Don't run back inside the burning building.
Casteel didn't listen though and ran past the firefighters eventually reemerging from the building with two cans of Bud Ice Premium according to The Smoking Gun.
Casteel was arrested for obstructing a firefighter or law enforcement officer.
Shockingly, this was not Casteel's first run-in with the law.
North Dakota > South Dakota.
