A Summerville teenager was arrested last week after reportedly stealing beer from the Borderline Quick Stop on Highway 114, near the Cherokee County, Alabama line.   According to a report at the Sheriff’s Office, the 17-year-old male entered the store – and after speaking with the clerk – “rushed to the beer cooler, opened the door, and grabbed a 15-pack of Coors”, before running out of the front door. 

The clerk ran into the parking lot and got a picture of the boy’s truck and tag number.  A BOLO was put out for the driver, after the deputy was able to positively identify the vehicle; he was stopped later that same night in Cedar Bluff, Alabama.   A Cedar Bluff Police Officer made contact with the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office – and he positively identified the stolen beer in the teen’s possession.   A warrant was issued for the subject’s arrest, and he was booked into the Chattooga County Jail.
