When you argue with yourself, who wins? Especially when beer is involved.

FORT PIERCE — A man who police say argued with himself and was hitting an electrical pole got busted, according to an arrest affidavit.

A Fort Pierce police officer about 11 p.m. Feb. 1 reported seeing a man near a utility pole in the 700 block of North Indian River Drive.

“The male was hitting the electrical pole, and began arguing with himself,” an affidavit states.

It wasn’t clear what the argument was about.

Police say the man, identified as 58-year-old Richard Dibernardini, had an open can of beer in his hand. Police shined a flashlight on Dibernardini, who quaffed the remainder of his beverage and hid behind an electrical box.

Dibernardini walked around the electrical box and had nothing in his hands. Police found a 16-ounce Natural Ice can on the ground.

Natural Ice, also known as “Natty Ice,” is an alcoholic beverage with 5.9 percent alcohol by volume, according to Naturallight.com. The beverage “is sure to jump start your story with a signature smooth, refreshing taste and clean finish,” the site states.

This story, however, did not end with a clean finish.

Instead, it concluded with the arrest of Dibernardini, of the 100 block of North 12th Street in Fort Pierce, on a trespassing charge.
