Edward Vincenzo Camacho, a 20-year-old from Winter Garden, Florida, apparently decided a late-night snack run wasn’t exciting enough. Instead, he opted for a more unconventional approach – using his SUV as a battering ram to break into a gun store.

His joyride was short-lived, however, as law enforcement apprehended him less than two hours later after a brief foot chase (during which he thoughtfully discarded some of the evidence).

Camacho has now pleaded guilty to theft of a firearm from a federal firearms licensee, a charge that could land him in federal prison for up to 10 years. It seems his midnight shopping spree will have a hefty price tag after all.
