Two men were arrested in South Florida after police say they took Corona beer from a CVS and told store employees they had “the virus” while the coronavirus pandemic was unfolding.
According to local news reports, Coconut Creek Police arrested the men, identified as Steven, 32, and Zavier, 42.
Police say the incident happened on a Tuesday at a CVS on West Hillsboro Boulevard. The men reportedly left with two cases of Corona beer and containers of detergent, and local reports say they told staffers they had the virus on the way out.
Police say the pair drove away in a van that had been reported stolen in Fort Lauderdale. After a short pursuit, both men were taken into custody and charged with shoplifting, vehicle theft and resisting arrest without violence.
The charges are allegations, and neither man had publicly responded at the time of this report. Baller Alert will be watching for more information as the case moves forward.
