Men allegedly use case of beer as weapon in heist

[May 18, 2010]  PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) -- Bud Light may not be advertising these two as "Real Men of Genius."

Two men are accused of using an 18-pack case of Bud Light as a weapon while stealing beer at a Loaf 'N Jug convenience store.

The men are accused of stealing three cases of Bud Light from the store early Saturday. According to police, one of the men used a case of the beer to hit a clerk during the theft. The clerk wasn't seriously hurt.

Police officers chased the suspects on foot. The affidavit said police found two cases of beer in a back yard, then went inside and found the men. The men are awaiting court appearances.
