Louisiana Man Accused Of Locking Workers And Customers Inside A Starbucks

A Louisiana man has been accused of locking workers and customers inside a Starbucks! It looks like he did it using a bike lock.

If you're going to be locked in anywhere, being stuck inside a Starbucks isn't a bad choice. You have bathrooms, food, beverages, and WiFi. However, while it might be a good place to be stuck compared to other places, you don't want to be stuck anywhere! Thankfully, they were able to leave through a different door. Always remember other door options.

According to WDSU, a man has been arrested after being accused of locking workers and customers inside a Starbucks in Slidell, Louisiana. When police officers arrived to the scene, they reportedly found a bike lock holding the doors together.

The suspect has since been identified as 23-year-old James Thrash, who lives in Slidell. He was arrested and is now facing charges of terrorizing and false imprisonment. It's believed that he put the bike lock on the door after he was reportedly asked to leave the coffeeshop.

You can check out his mugshot below, provided by the Slidell Police Department. He looks very confused. As if they just woke him up and informed him of his crimes.

Very interesting mugshot there. It would be scary when you realize you're locked in the Starbucks. Who did this? Are they trying to get me to buy more coffee? I already spent $20!

Speaking of Starbucks, it's that time of year! While it might seem too early to be celebrating fall (let's enjoy the end of Summer, shall we?), we're already seeing Halloween decorations out and the Pumpkin Spice Latte is already out! According to Axios, the popular Fall beverage came out on August 22nd even earlier than it came out last year. The PSL craze started 21 years ago when the drink first debuted on Starbucks' menus in 2003. It's since became a sensation that people eagerly anticipate and count down every year. Honestly, the hype is worth it. It's delicious. Do we go over the top to celebrate Pumpkin Spice Lattes? Sure, but you can't say they aren't tasty.

We talked about SummerWeen the other day on Dave & Chuck The Freak. This year, it seems like celebrating Halloween and Fall even earlier than usual was a big trend. Decorations were spotted at stores in July and even my neighbors had their Halloween decorations up in their yard starting in early August. Thankfully, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays so I have no problem with it. Leave the decorations up all year long, like your Christmas lights, I don't mind.

While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn't), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it's the crime itself that's wild, other times, it's the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.

Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America's Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I'm not sure if those shows are around...and I'm certain Spike TV isn't around anymore. That's a story for another time.

Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren't a matter of life or death. There's no ethics quiz here, or any matters of 'would you steal bread to support your family?' These crimes, and criminals, aren't straight up cringeworthy.

While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That's why I've gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let's be honest...what's better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I'm going with the funny storytellers.

They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but...you get it. Let's not delay! Here's the list!

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Wisconsin who was arrested after lighting his own car on fire and being found naked, covered in liquid soap near a lakae. He is supposedly a licensed psychotherapist, works with 'magic mushrooms' and is "pretty much an expert in magic."

Dave & Chuck the Freak hear about a new Amazon vendor scam involving glue guns and head-lamps, or a potential windfall if you're James.

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Dearborn, Michigan who exposed himself to someone at a Burlington Coat Factory. They are very confused when they learn about their hours and huge social media following. Then, they try to figure out what they even sell there.

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Las Vegas, Nevada who stripped nude and danced on the gaming tables before he was restrained and arrested. Vegas, baby...
