Vols Fans Reportedly Stole Over $600 Worth of Beer From Neyland Stadium

With the majority of the world rightly sitting on their couches due to the coronavirus pandemic, the need for alcoholic beverages is at an all-time high. Desperate times have called for desperate measures for certain individuals to get some brewskis.

On Monday, two Tennessee Volunteers fans were arrested for breaking into Neyland Stadium so they can steal 24-packs of beer (worth an estimated $634) from concession stands.

University of Tennessee police were called to the football stadium in Knoxville, Tenn. after security cameras caught five people crawling under a fence. Rachel Barber and Spencer Ngumuya were found walking around the venue with the packs of beer by authorities, and were subsequently charged with burglary at the Knox County Detention Center.

To make this story even more ridiculous, a Knoxville police officer actually warned the two that breaking into the stadium was a bad idea due to the venue being under 24-hour surveillance. Imagine being told by a police officer to not pursue that terrible decision, only to do it anyway! Unbelievable.

Last year, the state of Tennessee allowed the sale of alcohol at Neyland Stadium, but many school officials were concerned about the results that would come from making such a decision. Well, does this count as one in the con column?
