A suspected shoplifter in Alliance, Ohio, chose a pretty bad hiding spot – a dumpster. Police say they saw a man exiting through a side door of a Walmart with a shopping cart full of merchandise early Wednesday morning. The suspect, identified as James Brienzo, saw the cops and jumped into a dumpster to hide. When a garbage truck picked up the dumpster, Brienzo was inside. He called a friend for help using his cell phone. Meanwhile, police used the phone’s GPS system to track him and locate the garbage truck. Officers were unable to get him out of the dumpster, so the truck was taken to the Alliance Recycling Center and emptied there. Brienzo fell out of the truck with the garbage. “He was in a lot of pain,” according to one of the officers who witnessed the criminal dump. “He had been compacted several times. He was just begging us to empty the truck,” the officer added. Brienzo has been hospitalized and is in critical condition.
