I mean come on! If your moral compass is so out of whack you break into the local whinery shouldn’t it be a given a little illicit tasting might happen.
A West Deer winery was burglarized and vandalized Monday night by a man who had come from a drug and alcohol treatment center just down the road.
The 18-year-old suspect broke into La Casa Narcisi Winery on Gibsonia Road using a piece of lumber, broke several bottles of wine, and tampered with three of the 1,000-liter tanks where the wine was being stored, said West Deer Police Chief Jon Lape.
Damage was estimated at $20,000 — but will be more than $100,000 if the wine in the tanks is judged to have gone bad.
Jesse Derflinger of Beaver Falls was arrested soon after the break-in, and charged with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and public intoxication, said Chief Lape.
One would hope in judging any spoilage within the tanks a “urine sniff test” would conducted.
P.S. Would you be surprised to learn the reason this grape juice thief was in the area was because he was attending the Ridgeview Adolescent Behavioral Health Center? Citing medical privacy laws, Ridgeview spokeswoman Andrea Young could not reveal whether Mr. Derflinger was a client at the treatment center.
Yea, riiiight! He was just using the Behavioral Health Center, a half mile from the winery, to case the joint out. He doesn’t actually have any “behavioral” problems and would never be a client there!
