Truck Driver in New Brunswick Heist Gets 19 Months

A truck driver who was responsible for the truck that disappeared carrying 50,000 cans of Moosehead beer destined for Mexico has been sentenced to 19 months in prison. Nobody else has been charged to date.

The judge in the case addressed the perception in the media that the story is somehow humorous. "Why stealing beer is any funnier than stealing anything else is beyond me. It's a serious crime."

I'll drink to that, even if the beer was Moosehead.
