Drunk Men Lock Themselves in Constable Van, Get Arrested

Police say the men wanted to take their picture in the unoccupied van and ended up getting locked in.

Two South Jersey men prove that being drunk can really get you in some hot water after they broke into a constable van, got locked in and ended up getting arrested.

Police say that on Saturday, Ryan Letchford, 21, and Jeffrey Olsen, 22, of Marlton, N.J. thought it would be funny to take a picture of themselves in an unoccupied Radnor constable van located on the 1000-block of Lancaster Avenue , pretending to be in custody, when they accidentally got locked in.

After noticing their absence at a party, a friend, who was also drunk, found them in the van and tried to unlock it, according to police.

Unfortunately, the friend couldn’t figure out the lock either and called 9-1-1.

According to the Daily News
, the men smoked cigarettes and spat while stuck inside the van waiting for help. They also tried to kick their way to freedom.

Radnor Constable Mike Connor, the man responsible for the van, unlocked the door to the van and let the men out…right before he arrested them for attempted theft of a motor vehicle, criminal mischief and public drunkenness.
