Lure of alcohol too strong for wayward burglar 
   Santa Fe police say 37-year-old Grady Wayne Dennis apparently stumbled onto a bottle of Crown Royal Canadian whiskey while trying to gather rob a home.

By The Associated Press (6/21/02 - Santa Fe) — Authorities say a burglar's attempt to enter a Southeast Texas home went awry when he got a little sidetracked.

Santa Fe police say 37-year-old Grady Wayne Dennis apparently stumbled onto a bottle of Crown Royal Canadian whiskey while trying to gather piles of loot from the home Wednesday. The Texas City Sun reports police found Dennis sitting in a living room chair intoxicated.

Dennis, a parolee through 2011, is confined to the Galveston County Jail on $100,000 bond. All of the stolen property was recovered except a handgun and a rifle.

Santa Fe is about 40 miles south of Houston.

Damn alcohol junkies.

People have told me that Crown Royal Canadian whiskey is smooth and good.

I guess I'll have to commit burglary to find out, since it's not within my budget.

Grady Wayne Dennis.

He'll be convicted on his name alone.

I lease some equipment at another business and have a storage closet that I share with others.

On one unused shelf, there sits a bottle of Crown Royal. I'm usually in this place all by myself and I'm here to tell you, everytime I open that closet, the temptation is nearly overwhelming!
