NJ Councilman Accused Of Stealing Beer

EGG HARBOR CITY, N.J. - A councilman from Galloway Township, New Jersey faces shoplifting charges.

Police say Bill Ackerman stole beer from Philadelphia Liquors on Philadelphia Avenue in Egg Harbor City.

The store owner says the councilman would go in three or four times a day since November.

Each time, he would allegedly buy one can of Budweiser and stuff two more cans in his pockets.

Each can costs $1.16. But if the owner's story checks out, Ackerman may have stolen more than thousand dollars worth of beer.
