[NYPOST] A shameless freeloader quarantined himself in a shuttered Connecticut restaurant, helping himself to thousands of dollars worth of food and drink during a four-day bacchanalian binge, police said.Louis Angel Ortiz, 42, was arrested early Tuesday after allegedly pillaging a Cuban restaurant in downtown New Haven, which police believe he busted into Saturday through a side window. Ortiz then proceeded to eat, drink or steal several thousand dollars worth of food and booze, including roughly 70 bottles of liquor, New Haven police said. "Officers learned Ortiz helped himself over the course of four days to the restaurant’s food, liquor and beer," police said in a statement Wednesday. "In addition to eating and drinking at the restaurant, Ortiz removed beverages and property from the building," officials added. Ortiz was taken into custody after a manager stopped by the closed restaurant and saw someone sleeping inside with a bottle of rum, police said. Posted by: Fred 2020-04-18 |
