Jan. 9 (UPI) -- An upstate New York man from Callicoon is accused of holding his family hostage in their home for almost a week while he drank beer and slugged liquor.

Benito Lopez was arrested Monday on three felony charges of unlawful imprisonment and two misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child after he allegedly held his girlfriend, 11-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter captive beginning on New Year's Eve.

The 40-year-old was on probation for felony drunk-driving. When authorities responded to a tip that Lopez was preventing the three individuals from leaving the home, they didn’t find any weapons, but they did discover 15 cases of empty beer cans and some liquor bottles.

Lopez is being held in Sullivan County Jail on $5,000 bail.

How many trips to the bathroom does 15 cases equate to?

15 cases of beer in 6 days, that's 360 beers in total, 60 per day ... plus the liquor.  Holy smokes!  :beer: How on earth is this idiot still alive?

The Devil hasn't finished preparing for his punishment yet, so God's keeping him here for the time being.
