Man drank 30-40 beers and stole a flamingo

All right.

This happened earlier this year.

We may have talked about this on the show.

I just honestly can't remember.

But what happens when people commit crimes and then they go to court? Then all of a sudden we're getting all the video footage and the testimony.

So now it's in the news about a man who stole a flamingo in Vegas.

A

flamingo?

Yeah.

So he's a tourist from Canada, a 33-year-old man named Mitchell Fairbaum.

Oh! So in the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, they have a flamingo habitat with real flamingos.

That's kind of part of their whole thing.

He was wasted, drunk, and stole the flamingo out of its habitat and took it back to his hotel room.

He admitted that he drank 30 to 40 beers in a 24-hour period.

Wow.

This guy weighed bogs?

And then he's like, I was just doing a prank.

But it wasn't just silly and pranky.

He was shown on the video smiling and laughing while he grabbed Peachy by its neck and wings.

The bird was injured and could have died, but luckily Peachy will be all right.

Here is some audio from him in court this week.

You understand that this seems like really stupid behavior.

Yeah, I thought it would be at the time funny.

Do you have an estimate of how many beers that you drank, that first beer in the hotel, until you get handcuffed by security? If I had a guess, I'd say between 30 and 40.

He wasn't drunk.
