Today's police blotter:

This guy must really love wine.
Police in Russia say a man intentionally crashed an armored personnel carrier through a store window just to get a bottle of wine. Security video shows the tank slamming into the store. The man exits through the hatch, enters the store, and exits with a bottle of wine. Cops arrested the man a short time later. They say the tank was stolen and the guy was drunk. He's also accused of crushing a nearby car during his exploits. (Still)

Chocolate, Caffeine, Alcohol:

Trying just one cigarette could lead to a daily habit, according to a British survey analysis. USA Todaysays researchers used data from more than 215-thousand people collected through eight global health surveys. Of about 60 percent of people who said they tried smoking a cigarette, 68.9 percent of them said they went on to daily smoking. The surveys used were published between 2000 and 2016 and included only English-speaking respondents from developed countries. (Bartha)
