In Michigan City, police on Wednesday were looking for a thief with a major craving for alcohol.

At about 11 a.m., officers were called to King Richards on Franklin Street. The suspect went to the counter like he was going to pay for three half-gallon bottles of liquor then fled.

Louise Meska was working the counter. She says the man was the only person in the store at the time. It was Tequila he ran off with and she chased after him before he fled in a silver-colored car.

Meska further described the man in his 20’s wearing blue jeans and a hooded sweatshirt. She says the half-gallon bottles were priced at 89 dollars apiece.
