Big Thirst

|


A security camera caught at least six Richmond, California, police officers taking drinks and possibly food from a closed Mrs. Fields Original Cookies store during a search of a mall for an armed burglar. An attorney representing the officers says they were dehydrated after a long search of the closed mall. Local media, citing unnamed sources, say the supervising sergeant did not report the incident. He considered leaving money to pay for the drinks but decided not to because it might be stolen.
