I don't know of many Christmas trees sold at bars, but obviously Phillip Menefee does. Or at least that's the story he gave to Indiana cops after they stopped him riding his bike while balancing a stolen Christmas tree across the handlebars.
Police said Menefee told them he bought the tree from a lot. When told the lot was closed, police said he bought the tree from the bar that he had been drinking at.
Police arrested Menefee for theft and public intoxication. The $40 tree, which was marked with a tag, was returned.
