The Escambia County Sheriff's Office said a deputy responded to an alarm at Beer City in Pensacola, Fla., at about midnight Tuesday and saw a suspect fleeing through the smashed front door of the business with several packs of cigarettes in his arms, the Pensacola News-Journal reported Thursday.

Ted Roy said the deputy caught up to the suspect and "he had cigarettes scattered all around him and his pants were down by his ankles." The 37-year-old suspect, who was released from Escambia County Jail after posting $12,000 bond, was charged with criminal mischief, burglary, theft and possession of drug paraphernalia.
