Oakland, Tennessee | A man who got locked inside a Kroger supermarket on Sunday evening certainly made the most of it as he devoured more $8,000 worth of cold meats, candies, snacks, and cakes before he was freed in the morning.
47-year old Liam Norris claims he had to use the store’s bathroom a few minutes before closing time and incidentally escaped the notice of the employees closing up shop for the night.
Once he came out of the washroom, the lights were out and the staff was gone.
Mr. Norris claims he panicked when he realized that he had left his cell phone in his car, so he started binge eating and wreaking havoc among the aisles.
“When I’m nervous, I tend to eat. When I noticed I was stuck inside the store, I went crazy and couldn’t do anything but stuff myself with food.”
In the hours before he was discovered by staff clocking on for their early morning shift, he managed to work his way through thousands of dollars worth of food.
This morning, the aisles of the supermarket were so full of supermarket looked like it had been hit by a tornado
This morning, the aisles of the supermarket were so full of empty food packages and other trash that it looked like it had been hit by a tornado.
The list of food items that Mr. Norris devoured is very impressive: more than 15 pounds of cold meats, seven pounds of cheese, 74 beef jerkies, more than 100 pop-tarts, between 60 and 70 chocolate bars, five dozen donuts, seven boxes of chocolate cookies, four boxes of brownies, nine packages of cinnamon buns, five jars of marshmallow spread… and the list goes on.
According to the store manager, he also drank a total 17 cans of cola, 2 gallons of orange juice, 5 cans of energy drink and one and a half gallon of maple syrup, a ridiculous quantity of liquid for a man who was locked up only in eight hours.
Mr. Norris admits that he ingested large amounts of food, but claims it was only due to nervosity.
“I was alone in the dark and I was afraid. I started eating so I wouldn’t think about the fact that I was imprisoned, and I kept going until I was freed.”
Despite Mr. Norris’ explanations, many people are questioning his version of the events and suggest he might have planned the incident.
A spokesman for the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that an investigation had been launched in order to determine if Mr. Norris was indeed, a victim of the supermarket employees’ negligence, or if he intentionally hid inside the store.
Fayette County assitant Sheriff Mark Taylor confirmed to reporters that an investigation was underway to determine if criminal accusations could be filed against Mr. Norris.

Every year, dozens of Americans get locked up in stores at night under various circumstances.
While most are rapidly able to communicate with someone outside the store and are released, a few end up being stuck for long time periods.
In 2016, a 71-year old customer was stuck in a bakery for 3 days while the shop closed for a few days at Christmas.
In most cases, customers were not charged for the goods that they ingested while imprisoned, but some stores have made notable exceptions for customers who were considered to have exaggerated.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
