The historic Valencia Club in Penryn, California had been closed for more than a year. Suddenly, it reopened, sorta.
Police say that 29 year old Travis Kevie broke into the place, earlier this month, with a six pack of cold beer, sold it and used the profit to buy some fresh stock. This continued for four days. The local paper published a story on the rebirth of the bar! This was a rare case of free publicity being bad publicity, for Kevie. Cops read the story, smelled a rat and took Kevie from behind the bar and put him behind bars.
Kevie is being held in the Placer County Jail for burglary and selling alcohol without a license.
Chalk this up as a minor blow to the underground economy which is doing so well. I wonder why?
