An allegedly stolen can of soda landed a man in jail on burglary charges, Davis police reported this week.
Cole Pacific Gaskell, 33, was taken into custody Friday evening, shortly after someone reported that a man matching his description had jumped a fence into the backyard of a residence in the 400 block of Balboa Avenue, Lt. Art Camacho said.
Officers located Gaskell in the 1400 block of F Street, where Camacho said “he had a $4 can of soda” allegedly taken from the house. “As he was being arrested he made verbal threats against the officers.”
Gaskell, a Davis resident, was booked into the Yolo County Jail on burglary charges, Camacho said. The threats allegation will be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for consideration of possible additional charges.
