The AP reports Moline, IL dude decided to multi-task after holding 5 people hostage, sending two of his prisoners out for beer.  No insight as to why just sending one hostage wasn’t enough … dude was prepping to drink a LOT of beer apparently.

Police say 33-year-old Jason Slagel of Moline is charged with five counts of false imprisonment and going armed with intent. They say Slagel pulled a knife during an argument Tuesday night with another man and told the people in the room that they wouldn’t be allowed to leave … Police say Slagel eventually got thirsty and sent two hostages out for beer.

After they left, they called police and Slagel was arrested without incident.

Didn’t see that one coming.
