A State Street restaurant owner opened his business Friday morning to find a $600 bottle of tequila nearly emptied and two thieves attempting to flee the scene with more alcohol, according to Madison police.
Around 8:35 a.m., the Madison Police Department responded to a burglary in process at Frida's Mexican Grill at 117 State St. According to a police report, the owner entered the restaurant and saw two men carrying bags of expensive alcohol attempting to exit the building through another door.
Additionally, there was a three-fourths empty bottle of Herradura tequila, valued at $600, sitting on the bar that the owner said was full prior to the burglary. Police said both suspects appeared to be intoxicated at the time of the incident.
Police arrested Charles Theodore Lindsey, 41, and Bill Martin, 47, neither of whom have a permanent address. Both men face tentative charges of burglary.
