You might well have a drinking problem when on the way home from the bar you break into the airport petrol station and fill your car with jet fuel!

No, really we are not making this up…

The San Jose Police reported that a drunken man broke into a small airport and tried to fill up his car's petrol tank with jet fuel.

Justin Rodebush was arrested by police on Sunday night for driving while intoxicated and attempted theft.

Let’s face it, he probably wasn't trying to save money…

The aviation fuel in the pumps used for aircraft and race cars, was going for $5.97 a gallon, and accessed by a credit card the local authorities said.

Jim Meide, who works in operations at the county-run Reid-Hillview Airport admitted that "We've had people try and steal gas here in the past."

Clearly not much to do in East San Jose then is there?
