Crime didn't pay, this week, for a suspected thief at an Alliance, Ohio Wal-Mart. 37 year old James Brienzo is suspected of stealing a large amount of items from the store and sneaking out the side door. Authorities say that he vanished without a trace...well almost. He decided to hide in a garbage truck. One problem, the garbage truck was in operation. After a few minutes, Brienzo felt himself being compacted among 6 to 8 tons of trash! Luckily he had his cell phone with him. He managed to phone a friend and 9-1-1. Authorities say that Brienzo is a lucky man. A few more minutes and he would have been a goner.
As you can see, he was taken to a hospital for treatment...and probably a bath.
