'Free Beer Truck' Cruises the Streets of Heaven

A man who came across an unlocked, refrigerated beer truck in Buffalo Grove told police he thought he had "died and gone to heaven."

The conversation took place after officers were alerted that an intoxicated man was drinking beer from a pitcher at noon Oct. 11 behind a building on the 300 block of Weiland Road.

Due to his level of intoxication, the man was transported to the hospital by paramedics. But before they took him away, the man had one thing to say. He told police he thought he had "died and gone to heaven," where there must be "a free beer truck."

The man was not charged in the incident. Buffalo Grove police secured the beer truck before leaving.
