GARFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI — Two men who spent a night on the town drinking became irate when a Walmart clerk refused to sell them more alcohol, police said.
County officers responded to a report of two men who kicked a glass sliding door and flipped over an electric cart shortly before 1:45 a.m. Tuesday at a Walmart, 2640 Crossing Circle, according to the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Department.
Police discovered the men had been drinking at other establishments before going to the store to buy more alcohol. The clerk would not allow them to make a purchase because of their apparent drunkenness. The clerk was cursed at while they left, police said.
A citizen saw the men leave the store in a fit, retrieve something from their truck and go back inside.
Police arrested and charged a 21-year-old Lake Ann man with operating a vehicle while under the influence, under the state's high blood alcohol content law, in addition to malicious destruction of property. The other man, a 21-year-old Mesick resident, was released.
