HOUSTON – Instead of delivering a load of beer to its intended destination, a beer truck driver decided to keep the beer and sell it to locals, police said.

According to authorities, Keith Tyrone Fleming picked up a load of beer on Tuesday from Anheuser-Busch at 775 Gellhorn Drive and was supposed to deliver the beer to Austin, Texas.

Police got reports on Wednesday of a man unloading cases of beer into a house in the 1700 block of Schweikhardt Street.

Police found Fleming unloading the beer at the house so he could sell it later to locals, police said.

Fleming was taken into custody and charged with stealing over $30,000 worth of beer, according to officials.
