Ex-caretaker to trial in Pa. stolen whiskey case

Updated 7:02 am, Thursday, July 18, 2013

GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — The former live-in caretaker of a Pittsburgh-area mansion will stand trial on charges he drank more than $102,000 worth of old whiskey that he was supposed to be guarding.

A district judge on Wednesday ordered 62-year-old John Saunders, of Irwin, to trial on theft charges after hearing from the owner of the South Broadway Manor Bed and Breakfast.

The owner found nine 12-bottle cases of whiskey hidden in the century-old mansion built by industrialist J.P. Brennan after she bought it last year. The Old Farm Pure Rye Whiskey was produced in the early 1900s and appraised at more than $2,000 a bottle.

After Saunders moved out last March, the owner discovered 52 empty bottles and police found Saunders' saliva DNA on some of the bottles.

Saunders' attorney argued the value of the whiskey was "pure speculation."

He's what's known as a "pro-drinker".

Gee whiz, doesn't look like he did a very good job of covering his tracks....

As you know I don't like to speculate, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that something may have been impairing his judgement....

Seems to me be could replace it with a while bunch of really cheap wine.

I hope she doesn't have a hen house. She may be the type to hire a fox to guard it.
