Half-naked man smashes car into store, asks for beer

A drunk and pants-less American man smashed his car into a closed convenience store so he could get some beer.

Police in Rocky River, Ohio, say the incident happened early last Sunday morning, and have now released video footage of the aftermath.

The store had just closed, but the 45-year-old man - believed to be drunk or high - told a staff member he "needed" beer, police said.

After crashing through the deli counter, the half-naked suspect barricaded himself in a beer cooler and dared police to shoot him.

They did, but not with a gun - instead subduing him with a Taser.

He has been charged with operating a vehicle while under the influence alcohol or drugs.

The staff member suffered injuries to his legs and chest, but was fortunate the deli counter was between him and the car, preventing more serious harm, police said.
