Florida Man Arrested After Stealing $1.6 Million Worth Of Liquor

Author Marija
No matter how thirsty you are, let this be a warning as one Florida man finds himself in a boozy bind after stealing $1.6 million worth of liquor.
After a long day, I can understand how one may reach for a beer or two. But 33 year-old Miguel Angel Artiles Rivas reached for a whole lot more than that. It’s reported that the theft took place between July 7-July 10. Rivas was part of a group of people who entered a liquor distribution warehouse in Gibsonton. They weren’t going in for a tour or just to take a look around. According to a press release by the HCSO, over the 3 days the group stole about $1.6 million in liquor. To do so, they used at least two semi trucks.
It was the collaboration of the Florida Highway Patrol along with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies that put an end to this spirited heist. Not only were they able to track down the trucks used in the theft. But they were also able to locate the storage facility where the liquor was being kept in Hialeah. The stolen liquor was recovered and returned.
Rivas was arrested.

For stealing the liquor, this Florida man was charged with Burglary More than $1,000.00 Damage and Grand Theft $100,000 or More.

There is an arrest warrant out for 54 year-old Ruth Melly Cardero, as she was also involved in the theft. If you have any information on her whereabouts, you’re encouraged contact HCSO at 813-247-8200.

Here Are The Top Hard Seltzers For Fall 2023

Seltzers have really taken off over the last few years and if you’re looking for a new one to try, here are the top hard seltzers for fall 2023.

I’ve been a fan of the hard seltzers pretty much since they came out. They’re my go-to for a beach day and when I’m sitting on one of the many Sanibel beaches, there’s nothing more refreshing. I do have a few faves, but the Vizzy’s, High Noon’s and the Truly Tropical’s are my mains. The flavors are great, not too sweet and don’t have that weird sand paper mouth feel that some of them have. It’s not just me who enjoys them. In recent years, hard seltzers have experienced an unprecedented surge in popularity. There seem to be new brands and flavors constantly solidifying their status as a dominant player in the alcoholic beverage industry.

Hard seltzers meteoric rise can be attributed to several factors.

First, hard seltzers are known for their refreshing, low-calorie, and low-sugar characteristics. For those reasons, health-conscious consumers looking for a guilt-free indulgence can find it in a hard seltzer. The wide array of flavors and a generally low alcohol content make them a versatile choice for different tastes and occasions. The convenience of the canned packaging goes great with outdoor activities and being able to take on the go.

Maybe you’re looking to try something new, or just want to know what others are drinking. We previously reported on the top hard seltzers for summer. And a new study by YouGov shows us the top hard seltzers for fall 2023. You can check out the full list here. Below are the top 10.
