A report about a man shouting at folks and threatening to move into their living room landed a 53-year-old person in a room of a different sort — a cell at the Indian River County jail.

Robert Rock was arrested on an open container charge after the Sept. 16 incident at A.W. Young Park in Vero Beach, an affidavit states.

Police went to the city-owned recreation area “in reference to a male yelling at residents, stating that he was going to move into their living room.”

An officer met Rock, who had a 16 oz. can of Hurricane Malt Liquor, an Anheuser-Busch product described on a fact sheet as “full-bodied and robust and offers a smooth, slightly fruity and slightly sweet taste.”

Rock was asked to pour out his malted libation.

Instead, he chose to imbibe further from the can.

Rock, listed as homeless, was taken to jail.

The affidavit doesn’t state whether anyone offered him room and board in their living room.
