What items would you grab if your house was on fire?
For this South Dakota man, the answer was two cans of Bud Ice Premium, which he braved a blaze to retrieve.
Michael Anthony Casteel, 56, faces charges for obstructing law enforcement and a firefighter after he allegedly defied repeated orders on Sunday afternoon not to go back inside the burning house in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Police tweeted that “it is not advisable to push past [police and firefighters] in an attempt to ‘save your beer.'”
The department followed up by tweeting a meme using SpongeBob SquarePants that said, “So you are telling me, the structure was on fire, he was ordered to say out, and he ran back in for his beer.”
Casteel allegedly defied law enforcement’s orders twice during his quest to rescue his beers, the Argus Leader reported.
Police said his blood alcohol content was 0.082.
