“It hurt- it was like stunning,” says the employee Susan Sciarabba. “I turned around and there’s a pound of dark roast coffee flying across the room.”

Coffee slurper Slurpuccino is not a milk-based product, but is caffeinated, fat-free and has only 61 calories per 8-ounce serving, unlike most frozen cappuccinos on the market.

A false fire alarm and a coffee-saturated elevator phone led to charges for a 26-year-old man Stewart Street man, city police said.

Police said two men went into the second-floor reception area of the Social Services Building on Charlotte Street Jan. 8 at 2:40 p.m. because one man believed he had an appointment.

He was told he had the wrong date, police said, and the two men left.

Police said the two opened the phone box in the elevator and one man poured coffee onto the phone, an action captured on the elevator’s video camera.

As they left the building through the southeast exit door one man pulled the fire alarm, police said.

People began to leave the building and the fire department attended, police said.

Thomas Neil Nicholson was arrested at the police station Monday.

He’s charged with mischief and making a false fire alarm. He was released from custody and will appear in court Feb. 21.

Coffee used as Revenge!

A Man stole five jars of coffee in an act of revenge at being accused of a theft he had not committed.
Lee Tobin’s temper got the better of him after he was accused with a theft from the One Stop shop, in the town’s Wynyard Road, magistrates heard.
Alan Davison, prosecuting at Hartlepool Magistrates Court, said: “Mr Tobin was suspected of acting suspiciously by a member of staff, who challenged him and asked to see his bag.
“He emptied it and the bag was searched, but nothing was found.
“But later, CCTV footage was reviewed and staff saw him leave with six
jars of coffee which he hadn’t paid for.”
In police interview, Tobin, 29, said he was “upset and frustrated at having been searched and in temper took the items as a form of revenge” and that he sold the coffee for £5, Mr Davison added.
Tobin, of Campbell Road, Hartlepool, admitted committing the theft on May 10.
