State College, Pa. — Desperate for something to mix with his whiskey, a State College man attempted to steal cans of Coke from two different stores, police say. Brandon Paul Droll allegedly walked out of McLanahan's Downtown Market with three bottles of Southern Comfort and the two cans of Coke on June 14, police said. He was stopped by an employee and made to turn over the two cans of Coke that he didn't pay for, according to the complaint. Still in possession of the liquor though, Droll went to a second store on South Allen Street for a second attempt at stealing a Coke. The 29-year-old Droll was taken by the manager to the State College police station.
