The man then went into the store’s “beer cave” and made it appear like he was looking at the merchandise, police said.

According to the affidavit, store video shows the man facing toward the shelves, unzipping his pants and urinating on cases of beer. The store owner said six cases of beer totaling $113.36 were damaged and could not be sold, according to police.

The affidavit said police identified the man from his license plate, which was captured on surveillance video.

Police made contact with the man on Wednesday, arresting him on a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief.
