Publix Beer Bandit Strikes Again in Athens, Ga.
The information in this story comes from the ACC Police Department. An arrest doesn't mean a conviction.

Public officials reported that on Nov. 7, an unknown person came to Publix and stole six cases of Budweiser and one case of Corona. Afterwards, he left in a black 1996 Jeep Cherokee.
