ORONO, Maine — A man in shorts and a T-shirt running down Main Street carrying what appeared to be signs late Friday night caught the attention of police, who stopped him and arrested him for theft, Orono police Capt. Josh Ewing said Monday.
“He was running away from the Bear Brew [Pub],” the police captain said.
Lucas Kronlung, 20, of Alfred was stopped at around 11:10 p.m. He had two bar mats, both printed with alcohol advertising, in his hands that he had taken from the second floor of the local bar, Ewing said.
He was charged with theft and taken to the Penobscot County Jail in Bangor.
Kronlung was later released, Ewing said. (Nok-Noi Ricker, BDN)
Was alcohol involved??
Let me guess……
He was out on probation/bail from a previous stunt , right ??
He’s only 20?Why was he even in there?
When I went to UMaine I heard rumors that they did serve under age students and a place up the street called Thriftway also sold liquor to minors. I regret ever going to the University of Maine. Big waste of time. I never graduated from there and that place was a horrible influence on me. You can even look up an article from 2010 in the BDN about how UMaine received a failing grade for University standards. That article speaks for itself.
Time to call Mommy and Daddy to come and get him!!
Place is the known hang to drink in college, trust me, been there, dun that.
I drank there my all my college years starting when I was 19, big deal.
Wow. What are they teaching there?
Same as all colleges, you would know if you went.
Was your course of study football, or hockey?
Not much. UMaine got a Failing “F” grade (across the board) by a conservative think tank in 2010. I used to go there. It was nothing but one huge party school with obnoxious students, mostly from out of state that come here to party. Heck even as far back as the 1980s Rolling Stone magazine ranked UMaine-Orono as one of the top 10 Party Schools in the US.
stole the sign but left the brew????? what??
I’m sure he brought at least some of the beer with him;-)
Maybe Bear Brew should hold a charity auction for the now famous bar mats.
Was it “Underage Night” again?
a fine young man in the making
Kids do stuff. That doesn’t make them bad.
Future leader / politician / teacher / lawyer……..or dropout !
HOW COME HE DIDN’T ARRESTED FOR UNDERAGE DRINKING?
Good question. Maybe he was one of the out of state rich kids that UMaine and the locals give special privileges too. All about $$$
We’ll call it close enough to count-Alfred, ME is near Sanford I believe.
Perhaps he was not drinking. Unless they go 21+ at a certain time of night on the weekends or something, they are not 21+ all the time. I’ve been there 6-7-8ish on weeknights and seen people with kids eating there.
And you could eat off those mats!
Funny thing is, Bars usually get those things for free from the liquor distributor. Free advertising. What a score…err…almost a score.
