MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Moultrie man’s powerful early morning thirst led on Monday to a trip to jail as the resident whose kitchen he entered did not appreciate the intrusion and theft of “a red Solo cup full of sweet tea.”

A Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office deputy was dispatched at about 4:31 a.m. to the residence of Omer Key in the 100 block of Newton Road to investigate a reported burglary.

“(Key) heard some noises coming from his kitchen,” sheriff’s Sgt. Chris Robinson said. “He went in there and saw a white male helping himself to a glass of sweet tea.”

When Key asked the intruder what he was doing there the man, later identified as Jonathan Eric Chafin, responded: “I’m thirsty,” Robinson said.

Key “told him you need to get out of here,” Robinson said. “The guy left, he called 911, and a deputy saw him walking down the side of the road.”

Chafin, 25, 137 Lighter Knot Court, was charged with criminal trespass.

Robinson said that the deputy’s report did not indicate whether Chafin was holding the cup of tea when he saw him.
