Drunkin' man at Maverick

I came across this picture the other day and just had to share...




Let me explain. So a few years ago while I was living in St. George my friend Nikki and I went to this Maverick to get some snacks because we were hungry. We were the only ones in the gas station probably because it was pretty late. Well we were at the check out my card wasn't swiping so the cashier had to try using a bag to swipe, anyways as I was standing there waiting I see this big truck driving full speed not looking like he's going to slow down to park. Sure enough a couple seconds later the truck comes barricading through the walls into the store. Nikki and I screamed ran to the back of the store, (luckily we weren't anywhere close to this maniac) We see the man getting out of the truck. The cashier yells to us to get back into the back room where they take there breaks I'm guessing. So as we are running into the room we hear the guy ask if the Hilton  Hotel is around. Um you just crashed into a gas station and could have killed someone and you're asking where the Hilton is!! Haha, as we were "hiding" we were pretty scared, we were   only 18 at the time just babies. We kept thinking of the worst. *what if he has a gun,* what if he tries hurting us* What if he runs away* on and on. Well the cops showed up he was arrested for drunk driving. (we found this out by looking at the bookings online, which I was addicted to when living there) We filled out a police report and were on our way. The picture isn't a very good one I took it from my car because the cops were all still there, but he went through the big window where it's taped up. Pretty crazy night. Just fun old St. George memories. Crazy thing is a couple nights later we had to call the police on a bum in a Little Ceasers threatening people that he had a knife and wouldn't let anyone out of the Little Ceaser's but that's a whole other blog post. Stay tuned
