When a booze thief found himself being chased down by a six-foot-three, 260-pound green ogre, he figured he'd be better off turning himself in to the police. Trouble is, the Shrek character who caught him stealing from a liquor store on the weekend was actually an off-duty police officer.
Const. Mark Smallbones, a six-year veteran of the Lethbridge Police Service, was on his way to a Halloween party Saturday when he stopped to pick up some beer. The chase was on after the bald and burly officer, skin painted green and accompanied by a stuffed donkey, saw two people swipe a couple of bottles and flee.
