A Spokane Valley man was arrested over the weekend for the second time in less than a week – most recently for trying to take a can of beer from a convenience market, police said today.

The man is accused of throwing the full beer can at a clerk when confronted about taking it on Saturday about 11:30 p.m.

Rodrick Coppock, 47, was booked on charges of third-degree theft and fourth-degree assault in the latest incident. Spokane Valley police detained him after he walked out of Jackpot Food Mart, 7018 E. Sprague Ave., and he was later identified by the clerk as the man who tossed the beer at him, said Sgt. Dave Reagan, police spokesman.

Last Monday, Coppock was picked up walking on Sprague after a woman reported her wallet was stolen while at the Spokane Valley Library. He was booked on a charge of second-degree theft, a felony.

    How man lives must the evil drug alcohol destroy before we take this plague seriously?!?

    A teenage girl is thankfully alive but hospitalized b/c of her drinking and driving, http://www.krem.com/news/Spokane-teen-hospitalized-in-DUI-crash-80588137.html

    This idiot on this story wanted to keep his beer buzz going . . .

    Cops drunkenly hit other drivers and then drive away (but since he is a cop we will pay him four million for being a drunk!).

    Overall, the tremendous costs associated with drug abuse, alcohol that is, are simply staggering! 85,000 people die each year b/c of alcohol overdoses, driving accidents, and alcohol related diseases …: http://drugwarfacts.org/cms/?q=node/30

    We must rid ourselves of this self-caused evil people! Repeal the 21st Amendment immediately!

    If people need to alter their senses so badly let them smoke God’s good green herb, which is known to cause, well, zero deaths annually!

    Down with evil alcohol!

    Keep it green!

    God bless
